RED 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 three RED COTTAGE sales between October 2005 and June 2013 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 June 2009 sale was for 13% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 13% above the HPI over time, until the June 2013 sale, which was also at 13% above the HPI.

What might RED COTTAGE be worth now?

RED COTTAGE might now be worth an estimated £657,481.

This is based on house price inflation of 59.6%, between June 2013 and February 2025, 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 59.6% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for RED COTTAGE of £412,000 on 21st June 2013. For the value to have increased from £412,000 to £657,481 over the twelve years and four months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of RED COTTAGE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the New Forest local authority area.
• The June 2013 sale price of £412,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of RED COTTAGE has not materially changed since June 2013.
