HOPE COTTAGE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Buckinghamshire local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two HOPE COTTAGE sales from April 2013 and December 2022 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 April 2013 sale was for 54% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 54% above the HPI over time, until the December 2022 sale, where it falls to 3% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 3% above the HPI.

What might HOPE COTTAGE be worth now?

HOPE COTTAGE might now be worth an estimated £872,549.

This is based on house price deflation of 0.8%, between December 2022 and February 2025, for detached houses, in the Buckinghamshire local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 0.8% deflationary decrease is applied to the most recent sale price for HOPE COTTAGE of £880,000 on 13th December 2022. For the value to have decreased from £880,000 to £872,549 over the three years and ten 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 Buckinghamshire local authority area.
• The December 2022 sale price of £880,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of HOPE COTTAGE has not materially changed since December 2022.
