RUBY COTTAGE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Winchester local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three RUBY COTTAGE sales between November 2002 and July 2020 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 August 2004 sale was for 21% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 21% below the HPI over time, until the July 2020 sale, where it rises to 16% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 16% above the HPI.

What might RUBY COTTAGE be worth now?

RUBY COTTAGE might now be worth an estimated £891,232.

This is based on house price inflation of 15%, between July 2020 and February 2025, for detached houses, in the Winchester local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 15% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for RUBY COTTAGE of £775,000 on 3rd July 2020. For the value to have increased from £775,000 to £891,232 over the five years and five months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of RUBY COTTAGE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Winchester local authority area.
• The July 2020 sale price of £775,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of RUBY COTTAGE has not materially changed since July 2020.
