PLUMTREE COTTAGE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average semi-detached house price in the South Oxfordshire local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two PLUMTREE COTTAGE sales from December 1995 and August 2007 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 December 1995 sale was for 30% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 30% above the HPI over time, until the August 2007 sale, where it rises to 67% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 67% above the HPI.

What might PLUMTREE COTTAGE be worth now?

PLUMTREE COTTAGE might now be worth an estimated £776,178.

This is based on house price inflation of 74.4%, between August 2007 and December 2024, for semi-detached houses, in the South Oxfordshire local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 74.4% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for PLUMTREE COTTAGE of £445,000 on 15th August 2007. For the value to have increased from £445,000 to £776,178 over the sixteen years and eight months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of PLUMTREE COTTAGE has moved in line with the HPI for semi-detached houses in the South Oxfordshire local authority area.
• The August 2007 sale price of £445,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of PLUMTREE COTTAGE has not materially changed since August 2007.
