IVY COTTAGE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the New Forest local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two IVY COTTAGE sales from September 2005 and August 2014 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 2005 sale was for 14% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 14% above the HPI over time, until the August 2014 sale, where it rises to 39% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 39% above the HPI.

What might IVY COTTAGE be worth now?

IVY COTTAGE might now be worth an estimated £806,971.

This is based on house price inflation of 44.1%, between August 2014 and February 2025, for detached houses, in the New Forest local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 44.1% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for IVY COTTAGE of £560,000 on 19th August 2014. For the value to have increased from £560,000 to £806,971 over the eleven years and six months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of IVY COTTAGE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the New Forest local authority area.
• The August 2014 sale price of £560,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of IVY COTTAGE has not materially changed since August 2014.
