HOPE COTTAGE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Shropshire local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The four HOPE COTTAGE sales between December 1997 and July 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 February 2001 sale was for 4% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 4% below the HPI over time, until the July 2004 sale, where it rises to 11% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 11% above the HPI.

What might HOPE COTTAGE be worth now?

HOPE COTTAGE might now be worth an estimated £464,907.

This is based on house price inflation of 79.5%, between July 2004 and February 2025, for detached houses, in the Shropshire local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 79.5% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for HOPE COTTAGE of £259,000 on 12th July 2004. For the value to have increased from £259,000 to £464,907 over the 21 years and five months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of HOPE COTTAGE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Shropshire local authority area.
• The July 2004 sale price of £259,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of HOPE COTTAGE has not materially changed since July 2004.
