POPPY COTTAGE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the New Forest local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two POPPY COTTAGE sales from March 1998 and June 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 March 1998 sale was for 19% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 19% below the HPI over time, until the June 2018 sale, where it falls to 31% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 31% below the HPI.

What might POPPY COTTAGE be worth now?

POPPY COTTAGE might now be worth an estimated £400,280.

This is based on house price inflation of 15%, between June 2018 and December 2024, for detached houses, in the New Forest local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 15% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for POPPY COTTAGE of £348,000 on 15th June 2018. For the value to have increased from £348,000 to £400,280 over the five years and six months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of POPPY COTTAGE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the New Forest local authority area.
• The June 2018 sale price of £348,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
