LITTLE COTTAGE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Cornwall local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two LITTLE COTTAGE sales from April 2009 and June 2010 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 April 2009 sale was for 40% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 40% above the HPI over time, until the June 2010 sale, where it rises to 95% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 95% above the HPI.

What might LITTLE COTTAGE be worth now?

LITTLE COTTAGE might now be worth an estimated £853,443.

This is based on house price inflation of 54.9%, between June 2010 and February 2025, for detached houses, in the Cornwall local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 54.9% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for LITTLE COTTAGE of £551,000 on 30th June 2010. For the value to have increased from £551,000 to £853,443 over the fifteen years and four months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of LITTLE COTTAGE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Cornwall local authority area.
• The June 2010 sale price of £551,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of LITTLE COTTAGE has not materially changed since June 2010.
