MOUSE COTTAGE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average semi-detached house price in the Somerset local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three MOUSE COTTAGE sales between July 1997 and July 2009 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 May 2004 sale was for 110% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 110% above the HPI over time, until the July 2009 sale, where it falls to 69% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 69% above the HPI.

What might MOUSE COTTAGE be worth now?

MOUSE COTTAGE might now be worth an estimated £490,246.

This is based on house price inflation of 78.3%, between July 2009 and February 2025, for semi-detached houses, in the Somerset local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 78.3% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for MOUSE COTTAGE of £275,000 on 31st July 2009. For the value to have increased from £275,000 to £490,246 over the sixteen years and five months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of MOUSE COTTAGE has moved in line with the HPI for semi-detached houses in the Somerset local authority area.
• The July 2009 sale price of £275,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of MOUSE COTTAGE has not materially changed since July 2009.
