OAK TREE COTTAGE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the North Yorkshire local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three OAK TREE COTTAGE sales between February 2000 and October 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 January 2007 sale was for 33% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 33% above the HPI over time, until the October 2009 sale, where it rises to 42% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 42% above the HPI.

What might OAK TREE COTTAGE be worth now?

OAK TREE COTTAGE might now be worth an estimated £626,680.

This is based on house price inflation of 59.5%, between October 2009 and December 2024, for detached houses, in the North Yorkshire local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 59.5% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for OAK TREE COTTAGE of £393,000 on 26th October 2009. For the value to have increased from £393,000 to £626,680 over the fourteen years and ten months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of OAK TREE COTTAGE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the North Yorkshire local authority area.
• The October 2009 sale price of £393,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of OAK TREE COTTAGE has not materially changed since October 2009.
