MEADOW COTTAGE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the South Oxfordshire local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two MEADOW COTTAGE sales from October 1997 and March 2019 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 October 1997 sale was for 5% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 5% below the HPI over time, until the March 2019 sale, where it rises to 13% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 13% above the HPI.

What might MEADOW COTTAGE be worth now?

MEADOW COTTAGE might now be worth an estimated £889,374.

This is based on house price inflation of 24.4%, between March 2019 and February 2025, for detached houses, in the South Oxfordshire local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 24.4% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for MEADOW COTTAGE of £715,000 on 8th March 2019. For the value to have increased from £715,000 to £889,374 over the six years and one month to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of MEADOW COTTAGE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the South Oxfordshire local authority area.
• The March 2019 sale price of £715,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of MEADOW COTTAGE has not materially changed since March 2019.
