ORCHID 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 three ORCHID COTTAGE sales between March 2016 and May 2023 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 April 2021 sale was for 112% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 112% above the HPI over time, until the May 2023 sale, where it falls to 52% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 52% above the HPI.

What might ORCHID COTTAGE be worth now?

ORCHID COTTAGE might now be worth an estimated £886,597.

This is based on house price deflation of 5.7%, between May 2023 and February 2025, 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 5.7% deflationary decrease is applied to the most recent sale price for ORCHID COTTAGE of £940,000 on 11th May 2023. For the value to have decreased from £940,000 to £886,597 over the two years and three months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:
