ORME COTTAGE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average semi-detached house price in the Wiltshire local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two ORME COTTAGE sales from May 1996 and June 2003 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 May 1996 sale was for 58% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 58% above the HPI over time, until the June 2003 sale, where it rises to 60% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 60% above the HPI.

What might ORME COTTAGE be worth now?

ORME COTTAGE might now be worth an estimated £512,407.

This is based on house price inflation of 105%, between June 2003 and July 2025, for semi-detached houses, in the Wiltshire local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 105% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for ORME COTTAGE of £250,000 on 16th June 2003. For the value to have increased from £250,000 to £512,407 over the 21 years and eleven months to July 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of ORME COTTAGE has moved in line with the HPI for semi-detached houses in the Wiltshire local authority area.
• The June 2003 sale price of £250,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of ORME COTTAGE has not materially changed since June 2003.
