MYRTLE 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 MYRTLE COTTAGE sales between April 1998 and October 2022 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 2012 sale was for 126% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 126% above the HPI over time, until the October 2022 sale, where it falls to 85% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 85% above the HPI.

What might MYRTLE COTTAGE be worth now?

MYRTLE COTTAGE might now be worth an estimated £536,314.

This is based on house price inflation of 0.2%, between October 2022 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 0.2% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for MYRTLE COTTAGE of £535,000 on 10th October 2022. For the value to have increased from £535,000 to £536,314 over the three years and eight months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of MYRTLE COTTAGE has moved in line with the HPI for semi-detached houses in the Somerset local authority area.
• The October 2022 sale price of £535,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of MYRTLE COTTAGE has not materially changed since October 2022.
