MILL COTTAGE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Northumberland local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two MILL COTTAGE sales from October 2001 and November 2014 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 2001 sale was for 89% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 89% above the HPI over time, until the November 2014 sale, where it rises to 104% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 104% above the HPI.

What might MILL COTTAGE be worth now?

MILL COTTAGE might now be worth an estimated £726,572.

This is based on house price inflation of 45.5%, between November 2014 and December 2024, for detached houses, in the Northumberland local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 45.5% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for MILL COTTAGE of £499,500 on 14th November 2014. For the value to have increased from £499,500 to £726,572 over the nine years and eleven months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of MILL COTTAGE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Northumberland local authority area.
• The November 2014 sale price of £499,500 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of MILL COTTAGE has not materially changed since November 2014.
