ROSE 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 ROSE COTTAGE sales between December 2000 and August 2014 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 December 2001 sale was for 6% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 6% below the HPI over time, until the August 2014 sale, where it rises to 5% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 5% below the HPI.

What might ROSE COTTAGE be worth now?

ROSE COTTAGE might now be worth an estimated £451,859.

This is based on house price inflation of 54.5%, between August 2014 and March 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 54.5% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for ROSE COTTAGE of £292,500 on 18th August 2014. For the value to have increased from £292,500 to £451,859 over the eleven years and five months to March 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of ROSE COTTAGE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the West Northamptonshire local authority area.
• The August 2014 sale price of £292,500 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of ROSE COTTAGE has not materially changed since August 2014.
