LAUREL COTTAGE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Stroud local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two LAUREL COTTAGE sales from July 2007 and November 2015 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 2007 sale was for 26% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 26% below the HPI over time, until the November 2015 sale, where it rises to 11% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 11% below the HPI.

What might LAUREL COTTAGE be worth now?

LAUREL COTTAGE might now be worth an estimated £471,691.

This is based on house price inflation of 38.7%, between November 2015 and December 2024, for detached houses, in the Stroud local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 38.7% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for LAUREL COTTAGE of £340,000 on 19th November 2015. For the value to have increased from £340,000 to £471,691 over the eight years and eleven months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of LAUREL COTTAGE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Stroud local authority area.
• The November 2015 sale price of £340,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of LAUREL COTTAGE has not materially changed since November 2015.
