OLD HALL COTTAGE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Tendring local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three OLD HALL COTTAGE sales between November 1995 and November 2018 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 August 2000 sale was for 69% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 69% below the HPI over time, until the November 2018 sale, where it rises to 48% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 48% below the HPI.

What might OLD HALL COTTAGE be worth now?

OLD HALL COTTAGE might now be worth an estimated £198,564.

This is based on house price inflation of 15.1%, between November 2018 and February 2025, for detached houses, in the Tendring local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 15.1% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for OLD HALL COTTAGE of £172,500 on 30th November 2018. For the value to have increased from £172,500 to £198,564 over the seven years and nine months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:
