SANCTUARY COTTAGE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average semi-detached house price in the Somerset local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The four SANCTUARY COTTAGE sales between July 2001 and August 2019 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 2009 sale was for 68% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 68% above the HPI over time, until the August 2019 sale, where it falls to 30% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 30% above the HPI.

What might SANCTUARY COTTAGE be worth now?

SANCTUARY COTTAGE might now be worth an estimated £376,781.

This is based on house price inflation of 26.4%, between August 2019 and February 2025, for semi-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 26.4% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for SANCTUARY COTTAGE of £298,000 on 30th August 2019. For the value to have increased from £298,000 to £376,781 over the six years and six months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of SANCTUARY COTTAGE has moved in line with the HPI for semi-detached houses in the Somerset local authority area.
• The August 2019 sale price of £298,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of SANCTUARY COTTAGE has not materially changed since August 2019.
