ROWAN COTTAGE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Cornwall local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three ROWAN COTTAGE sales between April 1997 and September 2001 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 November 1997 sale was for 32% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 32% above the HPI over time, until the September 2001 sale, where it falls to 6% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 6% above the HPI.

What might ROWAN COTTAGE be worth now?

ROWAN COTTAGE might now be worth an estimated £472,473.

This is based on house price inflation of 219.2%, between September 2001 and December 2024, for detached houses, in the Cornwall local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 219.2% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for ROWAN COTTAGE of £148,000 on 6th September 2001. For the value to have increased from £148,000 to £472,473 over the 22 years and nine months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of ROWAN COTTAGE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Cornwall local authority area.
• The September 2001 sale price of £148,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of ROWAN COTTAGE has not materially changed since September 2001.
