HORTON COTTAGE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average semi-detached house price in the Somerset local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The six HORTON COTTAGE sales between May 2002 and December 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 May 2015 sale was for 39% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 39% above the HPI over time, until the December 2020 sale, where it falls to 25% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 25% above the HPI.

What might HORTON COTTAGE be worth now?

HORTON COTTAGE might now be worth an estimated £362,701.

This is based on house price inflation of 18.9%, between December 2020 and February 2025, for semi-detached houses, in the Somerset local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 18.9% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for HORTON COTTAGE of £305,000 on 11th December 2020. For the value to have increased from £305,000 to £362,701 over the five years and ten months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of HORTON COTTAGE has moved in line with the HPI for semi-detached houses in the Somerset local authority area.
• The December 2020 sale price of £305,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of HORTON COTTAGE has not materially changed since December 2020.
