LEIGH COTTAGE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Bath and North East Somerset local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two LEIGH COTTAGE sales from December 2010 and September 2021 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 December 2010 sale was for 57% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 57% above the HPI over time, until the September 2021 sale, where it rises to 69% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 69% above the HPI.

What might LEIGH COTTAGE be worth now?

LEIGH COTTAGE might now be worth an estimated £1,191,450.

This is based on house price inflation of 12.4%, between September 2021 and February 2025, for detached houses, in the Bath and North East Somerset local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 12.4% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for LEIGH COTTAGE of £1,060,000 on 24th September 2021. For the value to have increased from £1,060,000 to £1,191,450 over the four 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 Bath and North East Somerset local authority area.
• The September 2021 sale price of £1,060,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
