MERRON COTTAGE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Wychavon local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two MERRON COTTAGE sales from October 2017 and December 2020 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 2017 sale was for 32% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 32% above the HPI over time, until the December 2020 sale, where it rises to 47% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 47% above the HPI.

What might MERRON COTTAGE be worth now?

MERRON COTTAGE might now be worth an estimated £698,204.

This is based on house price inflation of 16.4%, between December 2020 and December 2024, for detached houses, in the Wychavon local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 16.4% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for MERRON COTTAGE of £600,000 on 17th December 2020. For the value to have increased from £600,000 to £698,204 over the four years to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:
