ROCK COTTAGE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Somerset local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three ROCK COTTAGE sales between August 1997 and June 2012 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 October 2003 sale was for 24% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 24% below the HPI over time, until the June 2012 sale, where it rises to 18% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 18% below the HPI.

What might ROCK COTTAGE be worth now?

ROCK COTTAGE might now be worth an estimated £375,505.

This is based on house price inflation of 65.4%, between June 2012 and December 2024, for detached houses, in the Somerset local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 65.4% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for ROCK COTTAGE of £227,000 on 28th June 2012. For the value to have increased from £227,000 to £375,505 over the eleven years and six months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of ROCK COTTAGE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Somerset local authority area.
• The June 2012 sale price of £227,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of ROCK COTTAGE has not materially changed since June 2012.
