POST COTTAGE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the West Northamptonshire local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three POST COTTAGE sales between July 1996 and August 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 August 2003 sale was for 10% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 10% above the HPI over time, until the August 2018 sale, where it falls to 6% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 6% above the HPI.

What might POST COTTAGE be worth now?

POST COTTAGE might now be worth an estimated £501,046.

This is based on house price inflation of 19%, between August 2018 and February 2025, for detached houses, in the West Northamptonshire local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 19% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for POST COTTAGE of £421,100 on 10th August 2018. For the value to have increased from £421,100 to £501,046 over the seven years and six months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of POST COTTAGE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the West Northamptonshire local authority area.
• The August 2018 sale price of £421,100 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of POST COTTAGE has not materially changed since August 2018.
