LABURNUM 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 LABURNUM COTTAGE sales from September 2001 and March 2003 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 2001 sale was for 8% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 8% above the HPI over time, until the March 2003 sale, where it rises to 18% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 18% above the HPI.

What might LABURNUM COTTAGE be worth now?

LABURNUM COTTAGE might now be worth an estimated £330,186.

This is based on house price inflation of 152.1%, between March 2003 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 152.1% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for LABURNUM COTTAGE of £131,000 on 14th March 2003. For the value to have increased from £131,000 to £330,186 over the twenty years and three months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of LABURNUM COTTAGE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Cumberland local authority area.
• The March 2003 sale price of £131,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
