HOLLY COTTAGE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the West Lindsey local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two HOLLY COTTAGE sales from September 2002 and March 2004 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 September 2002 sale was for 45% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 45% above the HPI over time, until the March 2004 sale, which was also at 45% above the HPI.

What might HOLLY COTTAGE be worth now?

HOLLY COTTAGE might now be worth an estimated £423,262.

This is based on house price inflation of 88.1%, between March 2004 and February 2025, for detached houses, in the West Lindsey local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 88.1% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for HOLLY COTTAGE of £225,000 on 12th March 2004. For the value to have increased from £225,000 to £423,262 over the 21 years and one month to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of HOLLY COTTAGE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the West Lindsey local authority area.
• The March 2004 sale price of £225,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of HOLLY COTTAGE has not materially changed since March 2004.
