GROVE COTTAGE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Wychavon local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The four GROVE COTTAGE sales between April 2001 and May 2012 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 January 2005 sale was for 14% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 14% below the HPI over time, until the May 2012 sale, where it rises to 9% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 9% above the HPI.

What might GROVE COTTAGE be worth now?

GROVE COTTAGE might now be worth an estimated £509,632.

This is based on house price inflation of 59.3%, between May 2012 and February 2025, for detached houses, in the Wychavon local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 59.3% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for GROVE COTTAGE of £320,000 on 4th May 2012. For the value to have increased from £320,000 to £509,632 over the thirteen years and three months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of GROVE COTTAGE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Wychavon local authority area.
• The May 2012 sale price of £320,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of GROVE COTTAGE has not materially changed since May 2012.
