MORTIMER COTTAGE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Shropshire local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The four MORTIMER COTTAGE sales between October 1999 and December 2016 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 2010 sale was for 43% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 43% above the HPI over time, until the December 2016 sale, where it falls to 9% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 9% above the HPI.

What might MORTIMER COTTAGE be worth now?

MORTIMER COTTAGE might now be worth an estimated £456,789.

This is based on house price inflation of 39.5%, between December 2016 and February 2025, for detached houses, in the Shropshire local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 39.5% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for MORTIMER COTTAGE of £327,500 on 16th December 2016. For the value to have increased from £327,500 to £456,789 over the nine years and ten months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of MORTIMER COTTAGE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Shropshire local authority area.
• The December 2016 sale price of £327,500 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of MORTIMER COTTAGE has not materially changed since December 2016.
