SCOTTS COTTAGE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Buckinghamshire local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three SCOTTS COTTAGE sales between April 1995 and May 2010 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 1999 sale was for 11% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 11% below the HPI over time, until the May 2010 sale, where it falls to 16% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 16% below the HPI.

What might SCOTTS COTTAGE be worth now?

SCOTTS COTTAGE might now be worth an estimated £696,842.

This is based on house price inflation of 72.1%, between May 2010 and December 2024, for detached houses, in the Buckinghamshire local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 72.1% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for SCOTTS COTTAGE of £405,000 on 6th May 2010. For the value to have increased from £405,000 to £696,842 over the thirteen years and five months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of SCOTTS COTTAGE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Buckinghamshire local authority area.
• The May 2010 sale price of £405,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
