LEIGH COTTAGE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Buckinghamshire local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three LEIGH COTTAGE sales between October 1998 and September 2005 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 March 2000 sale was for 6% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 6% above the HPI over time, until the September 2005 sale, where it falls to 13% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 13% below the HPI.

What might LEIGH COTTAGE be worth now?

LEIGH COTTAGE might now be worth an estimated £732,016.

This is based on house price inflation of 97.8%, between September 2005 and February 2025, for detached houses, in the Buckinghamshire local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 97.8% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for LEIGH COTTAGE of £370,000 on 12th September 2005. For the value to have increased from £370,000 to £732,016 over the twenty years and seven months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of LEIGH COTTAGE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Buckinghamshire local authority area.
• The September 2005 sale price of £370,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of LEIGH COTTAGE has not materially changed since September 2005.
