MYRTLE COTTAGE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the New Forest local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two MYRTLE COTTAGE sales from July 1997 and May 2013 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 July 1997 sale was for 1% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 1% above the HPI over time, until the May 2013 sale, where it rises to 9% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 9% above the HPI.

What might MYRTLE COTTAGE be worth now?

MYRTLE COTTAGE might now be worth an estimated £637,611.

This is based on house price inflation of 59.4%, between May 2013 and December 2024, for detached houses, in the New Forest local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 59.4% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for MYRTLE COTTAGE of £400,000 on 24th May 2013. For the value to have increased from £400,000 to £637,611 over the ten years and five months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of MYRTLE COTTAGE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the New Forest local authority area.
• The May 2013 sale price of £400,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of MYRTLE COTTAGE has not materially changed since May 2013.
