PARADISE 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 PARADISE COTTAGE sales from April 1996 and June 2000 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 1996 sale was for 71% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 71% below the HPI over time, until the June 2000 sale, where it rises to 53% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 53% below the HPI.

What might PARADISE COTTAGE be worth now?

PARADISE COTTAGE might now be worth an estimated £154,433.

This is based on house price inflation of 221.7%, between June 2000 and February 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 221.7% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for PARADISE COTTAGE of £48,000 on 23rd June 2000. For the value to have increased from £48,000 to £154,433 over the 25 years and four months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of PARADISE COTTAGE has moved in line with the HPI for semi-detached houses in the Wiltshire local authority area.
• The June 2000 sale price of £48,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of PARADISE COTTAGE has not materially changed since June 2000.
