RUFUS COTTAGE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the New Forest local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two RUFUS COTTAGE sales from April 2013 and March 2023 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 April 2013 sale was for 70% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 70% above the HPI over time, until the March 2023 sale, where it falls to 59% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 59% above the HPI.

What might RUFUS COTTAGE be worth now?

RUFUS COTTAGE might now be worth an estimated £924,086.

This is based on house price deflation of 5.2%, between March 2023 and February 2025, for detached houses, in the New Forest local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 5.2% deflationary decrease is applied to the most recent sale price for RUFUS COTTAGE of £975,000 on 31st March 2023. For the value to have decreased from £975,000 to £924,086 over the two years and one month to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of RUFUS COTTAGE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the New Forest local authority area.
• The March 2023 sale price of £975,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of RUFUS COTTAGE has not materially changed since March 2023.
