POLLY COTTAGE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Wychavon local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three POLLY COTTAGE sales between August 1999 and November 2016 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 July 2004 sale was for 39% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 39% above the HPI over time, until the November 2016 sale, where it falls to 27% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 27% above the HPI.

What might POLLY COTTAGE be worth now?

POLLY COTTAGE might now be worth an estimated £590,845.

This is based on house price inflation of 28.4%, between November 2016 and February 2025, for detached houses, in the Wychavon local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 28.4% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for POLLY COTTAGE of £460,000 on 17th November 2016. For the value to have increased from £460,000 to £590,845 over the nine years and nine months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of POLLY COTTAGE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Wychavon local authority area.
• The November 2016 sale price of £460,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of POLLY COTTAGE has not materially changed since November 2016.
