MYRTLE COTTAGE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the South Gloucestershire local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two MYRTLE COTTAGE sales from May 1995 and December 1998 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 1995 sale was for 47% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 47% below the HPI over time, until the December 1998 sale, where it rises to 33% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 33% below the HPI.

What might MYRTLE COTTAGE be worth now?

MYRTLE COTTAGE might now be worth an estimated £376,726.

This is based on house price inflation of 402.3%, between December 1998 and February 2025, for detached houses, in the South Gloucestershire local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 402.3% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for MYRTLE COTTAGE of £75,000 on 17th December 1998. For the value to have increased from £75,000 to £376,726 over the 27 years and ten months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of MYRTLE COTTAGE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the South Gloucestershire local authority area.
• The December 1998 sale price of £75,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of MYRTLE COTTAGE has not materially changed since December 1998.
