OSBORNE COTTAGE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Shropshire local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two OSBORNE COTTAGE sales from October 2003 and March 2012 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 October 2003 sale was for 25% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 25% below the HPI over time, until the March 2012 sale, where it rises to roughly the same level as the HPI. The line then continues to track in line with the HPI.

What might OSBORNE COTTAGE be worth now?

OSBORNE COTTAGE might now be worth an estimated £418,437.

This is based on house price inflation of 67.4%, between March 2012 and February 2025, for detached houses, in the Shropshire local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 67.4% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for OSBORNE COTTAGE of £249,950 on 16th March 2012. For the value to have increased from £249,950 to £418,437 over the thirteen years and one month to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of OSBORNE COTTAGE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Shropshire local authority area.
• The March 2012 sale price of £249,950 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of OSBORNE COTTAGE has not materially changed since March 2012.
