HEATH COTTAGE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Westmorland and Furness local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two HEATH COTTAGE sales from August 1996 and May 2023 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 August 1996 sale was for 120% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 120% above the HPI over time, until the May 2023 sale, where it falls to 67% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 67% above the HPI.

What might HEATH COTTAGE be worth now?

HEATH COTTAGE might now be worth an estimated £663,298.

This is based on house price inflation of 5.3%, between May 2023 and February 2025, for detached houses, in the Westmorland and Furness local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 5.3% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for HEATH COTTAGE of £630,000 on 26th May 2023. For the value to have increased from £630,000 to £663,298 over the two years and three months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of HEATH COTTAGE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Westmorland and Furness local authority area.
• The May 2023 sale price of £630,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of HEATH COTTAGE has not materially changed since May 2023.
