MERVIL COTTAGE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average semi-detached house price in the Waverley local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two MERVIL COTTAGE sales from June 2006 and August 2011 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 June 2006 sale was for 54% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 54% above the HPI over time, until the August 2011 sale, where it rises to 67% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 67% above the HPI.

What might MERVIL COTTAGE be worth now?

MERVIL COTTAGE might now be worth an estimated £904,991.

This is based on house price inflation of 76.6%, between August 2011 and February 2025, for semi-detached houses, in the Waverley local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 76.6% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for MERVIL COTTAGE of £512,500 on 31st August 2011. For the value to have increased from £512,500 to £904,991 over the fourteen years and six months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of MERVIL COTTAGE has moved in line with the HPI for semi-detached houses in the Waverley local authority area.
• The August 2011 sale price of £512,500 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of MERVIL COTTAGE has not materially changed since August 2011.
