LANTERN COTTAGE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Doncaster local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three LANTERN COTTAGE sales between October 2011 and August 2023 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 2016 sale was for 91% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 91% above the HPI over time, until the August 2023 sale, where it rises to 150% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 150% above the HPI.

What might LANTERN COTTAGE be worth now?

LANTERN COTTAGE might now be worth an estimated £631,397.

This is based on house price inflation of 3.5%, between August 2023 and December 2024, for detached houses, in the Doncaster local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 3.5% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for LANTERN COTTAGE of £610,000 on 30th August 2023. For the value to have increased from £610,000 to £631,397 over the eight months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of LANTERN COTTAGE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Doncaster local authority area.
• The August 2023 sale price of £610,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of LANTERN COTTAGE has not materially changed since August 2023.
