ORCHARD COTTAGE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the South Norfolk local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The four ORCHARD COTTAGE sales between March 1995 and December 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 August 2000 sale was for 39% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 39% above the HPI over time, until the December 2014 sale, where it rises to 75% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 75% above the HPI.

What might ORCHARD COTTAGE be worth now?

ORCHARD COTTAGE might now be worth an estimated £768,147.

This is based on house price inflation of 56.8%, between December 2014 and February 2025, for detached houses, in the South Norfolk local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 56.8% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for ORCHARD COTTAGE of £490,000 on 5th December 2014. For the value to have increased from £490,000 to £768,147 over the eleven years and ten months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of ORCHARD COTTAGE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the South Norfolk local authority area.
• The December 2014 sale price of £490,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of ORCHARD COTTAGE has not materially changed since December 2014.
