HILLGROVE COTTAGE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average semi-detached house price in the Isle of Wight local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The four HILLGROVE COTTAGE sales between June 1997 and August 2020 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 2006 sale was for 29% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 29% above the HPI over time, until the August 2020 sale, where it falls to 18% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 18% below the HPI.

What might HILLGROVE COTTAGE be worth now?

HILLGROVE COTTAGE might now be worth an estimated £234,424.

This is based on house price inflation of 24.4%, between August 2020 and February 2025, for semi-detached houses, in the Isle of Wight local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 24.4% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for HILLGROVE COTTAGE of £188,500 on 14th August 2020. For the value to have increased from £188,500 to £234,424 over the five years and six months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of HILLGROVE COTTAGE has moved in line with the HPI for semi-detached houses in the Isle of Wight local authority area.
• The August 2020 sale price of £188,500 represented a fair market value for the property.
