HEALD COTTAGE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Trafford local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three HEALD COTTAGE sales between August 1997 and June 2015 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 July 2006 sale was for 59% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 59% above the HPI over time, until the June 2015 sale, where it rises to 63% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 63% above the HPI.

What might HEALD COTTAGE be worth now?

HEALD COTTAGE might now be worth an estimated £1,246,995.

This is based on house price inflation of 73.2%, between June 2015 and February 2025, for detached houses, in the Trafford local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 73.2% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for HEALD COTTAGE of £720,000 on 19th June 2015. For the value to have increased from £720,000 to £1,246,995 over the ten years and four months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of HEALD COTTAGE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Trafford local authority area.
• The June 2015 sale price of £720,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of HEALD COTTAGE has not materially changed since June 2015.
