LAUREL 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 two LAUREL COTTAGE sales from July 2009 and November 2018 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 July 2009 sale was for 6% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 6% above the HPI over time, until the November 2018 sale, where it rises to 31% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 31% above the HPI.

What might LAUREL COTTAGE be worth now?

LAUREL COTTAGE might now be worth an estimated £380,461.

This is based on house price inflation of 27.7%, between November 2018 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 27.7% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for LAUREL COTTAGE of £298,000 on 1st November 2018. For the value to have increased from £298,000 to £380,461 over the seven years and nine months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of LAUREL COTTAGE has moved in line with the HPI for semi-detached houses in the Somerset local authority area.
• The November 2018 sale price of £298,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of LAUREL COTTAGE has not materially changed since November 2018.
