OWL COTTAGE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Somerset local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three OWL COTTAGE sales between October 2004 and October 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 September 2015 sale was for 28% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 28% below the HPI over time, until the October 2018 sale, where it rises to 11% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 11% below the HPI.

What might OWL COTTAGE be worth now?

OWL COTTAGE might now be worth an estimated £408,338.

This is based on house price inflation of 23.8%, between October 2018 and February 2025, for detached houses, in the Somerset local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 23.8% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for OWL COTTAGE of £329,950 on 26th October 2018. For the value to have increased from £329,950 to £408,338 over the seven years and eight months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of OWL COTTAGE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Somerset local authority area.
• The October 2018 sale price of £329,950 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of OWL COTTAGE has not materially changed since October 2018.
