RIDGE COTTAGE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Windsor and Maidenhead local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two RIDGE COTTAGE sales from February 2008 and August 2010 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 February 2008 sale was for 29% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 29% below the HPI over time, until the August 2010 sale, where it rises to 13% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 13% below the HPI.

What might RIDGE COTTAGE be worth now?

RIDGE COTTAGE might now be worth an estimated £959,794.

This is based on house price inflation of 72.9%, between August 2010 and December 2024, for detached houses, in the Windsor and Maidenhead local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 72.9% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for RIDGE COTTAGE of £555,000 on 11th August 2010. For the value to have increased from £555,000 to £959,794 over the thirteen years and eight months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of RIDGE COTTAGE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Windsor and Maidenhead local authority area.
• The August 2010 sale price of £555,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
