MICHAELMAS 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 four MICHAELMAS COTTAGE sales between May 2004 and May 2018 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 February 2007 sale was for 108% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 108% above the HPI over time, until the May 2018 sale, where it rises to 124% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 124% above the HPI.

What might MICHAELMAS COTTAGE be worth now?

MICHAELMAS COTTAGE might now be worth an estimated £1,764,311.

This is based on house price inflation of 21.7%, between May 2018 and December 2024, 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 21.7% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for MICHAELMAS COTTAGE of £1,450,000 on 17th May 2018. For the value to have increased from £1,450,000 to £1,764,311 over the five years and five months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of MICHAELMAS COTTAGE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the South Oxfordshire local authority area.
• The May 2018 sale price of £1,450,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
