RAINBOW COTTAGE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the North Yorkshire local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two RAINBOW COTTAGE sales from January 1996 and June 2019 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 January 1996 sale was for 72% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 72% above the HPI over time, until the June 2019 sale, where it falls to 56% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 56% above the HPI.

What might RAINBOW COTTAGE be worth now?

RAINBOW COTTAGE might now be worth an estimated £675,782.

This is based on house price inflation of 25.1%, between June 2019 and March 2025, for detached houses, in the North Yorkshire local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 25.1% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for RAINBOW COTTAGE of £540,000 on 14th June 2019. For the value to have increased from £540,000 to £675,782 over the six years and three months to March 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of RAINBOW COTTAGE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the North Yorkshire local authority area.
• The June 2019 sale price of £540,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of RAINBOW COTTAGE has not materially changed since June 2019.
