OLD MALT COTTAGE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average semi-detached house price in the Cherwell local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two OLD MALT COTTAGE sales from July 2004 and January 2014 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 2004 sale was for 121% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 121% above the HPI over time, until the January 2014 sale, where it falls to 100% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 100% above the HPI.

What might OLD MALT COTTAGE be worth now?

This is based on house price inflation of 58.2%, between January 2014 and December 2024, for semi-detached houses, in the Cherwell local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 58.2% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for OLD MALT COTTAGE of £454,000 on 17th January 2014. For the value to have increased from £454,000 to £718,404 over the nine years and one month to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:
