SANDS COTTAGE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Ribble Valley local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The four SANDS COTTAGE sales between July 2005 and February 2024 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 October 2013 sale was for 69% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 69% above the HPI over time, until the February 2024 sale, where it rises to 109% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 109% above the HPI.

What might SANDS COTTAGE be worth now?

SANDS COTTAGE might now be worth an estimated £888,519.

This is based on house price inflation of 2.7%, between February 2024 and February 2025, for detached houses, in the Ribble Valley local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 2.7% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for SANDS COTTAGE of £865,000 on 5th February 2024. For the value to have increased from £865,000 to £888,519 over the one year to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of SANDS COTTAGE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Ribble Valley local authority area.
• The February 2024 sale price of £865,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
