LABROE COTTAGE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Cumberland local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two LABROE COTTAGE sales from February 1999 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 February 1999 sale was for 34% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 34% below the HPI over time, until the August 2014 sale, where it rises to 13% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 13% below the HPI.

What might LABROE COTTAGE be worth now?

This is based on house price inflation of 41.4%, between August 2014 and December 2024, for detached houses, in the Cumberland local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 41.4% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for LABROE COTTAGE of £171,950 on 22nd August 2014. For the value to have increased from £171,950 to £243,062 over the nine years and eight months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:
