GREEN COTTAGE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the West Northamptonshire local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three GREEN COTTAGE sales between May 1999 and November 2009 have been plotted on the graph. A line has been extrapolated to show what the value of the property might have been over time, following each sale, had it maintained the same margin above or below the HPI (as a percentage). For example, the February 2004 sale was for 10% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 10% below the HPI over time, until the November 2009 sale, where it rises to 5% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 5% below the HPI.

What might GREEN COTTAGE be worth now?

GREEN COTTAGE might now be worth an estimated £449,002.

This is based on house price inflation of 79.6%, between November 2009 and February 2025, for detached houses, in the West Northamptonshire local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 79.6% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for GREEN COTTAGE of £250,000 on 27th November 2009. For the value to have increased from £250,000 to £449,002 over the sixteen years and nine months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of GREEN COTTAGE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the West Northamptonshire local authority area.
• The November 2009 sale price of £250,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of GREEN COTTAGE has not materially changed since November 2009.
