HILL COTTAGE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Forest of Dean local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The four HILL COTTAGE sales between August 1998 and September 2010 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 October 2006 sale roughly matched the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks roughly in line with the HPI over time, until the September 2010 sale, where it rises to 14% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 14% above the HPI.

What might HILL COTTAGE be worth now?

HILL COTTAGE might now be worth an estimated £436,060.

This is based on house price inflation of 53%, between September 2010 and December 2024, for detached houses, in the Forest of Dean local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 53% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for HILL COTTAGE of £285,000 on 3rd September 2010. For the value to have increased from £285,000 to £436,060 over the thirteen years and nine months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of HILL COTTAGE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Forest of Dean local authority area.
• The September 2010 sale price of £285,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of HILL COTTAGE has not materially changed since September 2010.
