LUCY BERRY COTTAGE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Lichfield local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The four LUCY BERRY COTTAGE sales between May 1998 and January 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 August 2005 sale was for 19% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 19% below the HPI over time, until the January 2010 sale, where it rises to 14% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 14% below the HPI.

What might LUCY BERRY COTTAGE be worth now?

LUCY BERRY COTTAGE might now be worth an estimated £443,482.

This is based on house price inflation of 80.3%, between January 2010 and December 2024, for detached houses, in the Lichfield local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 80.3% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for LUCY BERRY COTTAGE of £246,000 on 8th January 2010. For the value to have increased from £246,000 to £443,482 over the thirteen years and one month to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of LUCY BERRY COTTAGE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Lichfield local authority area.
• The January 2010 sale price of £246,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
