OWL COTTAGE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average semi-detached house price in the Elmbridge local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three OWL COTTAGE sales between January 2002 and March 2018 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 2004 sale was for 33% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 33% above the HPI over time, until the March 2018 sale, where it falls to 25% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 25% above the HPI.

What might OWL COTTAGE be worth now?

OWL COTTAGE might now be worth an estimated £884,363.

This is based on house price inflation of 25.4%, between March 2018 and February 2025, for semi-detached houses, in the Elmbridge local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 25.4% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for OWL COTTAGE of £705,000 on 16th March 2018. For the value to have increased from £705,000 to £884,363 over the seven years and one month to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of OWL COTTAGE has moved in line with the HPI for semi-detached houses in the Elmbridge local authority area.
• The March 2018 sale price of £705,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of OWL COTTAGE has not materially changed since March 2018.
