HORSESHOE COTTAGE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the West Northamptonshire local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two HORSESHOE COTTAGE sales from January 1995 and May 2005 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 January 1995 sale was for 34% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 34% above the HPI over time, until the May 2005 sale, where it falls to 5% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 5% below the HPI.

What might HORSESHOE COTTAGE be worth now?

HORSESHOE COTTAGE might now be worth an estimated £449,189.

This is based on house price inflation of 87.6%, between May 2005 and February 2025, for detached houses, in the West Northamptonshire local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 87.6% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for HORSESHOE COTTAGE of £239,500 on 27th May 2005. For the value to have increased from £239,500 to £449,189 over the twenty years and three months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of HORSESHOE COTTAGE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the West Northamptonshire local authority area.
• The May 2005 sale price of £239,500 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of HORSESHOE COTTAGE has not materially changed since May 2005.
