SILK COTTAGE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Derbyshire Dales local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The five SILK COTTAGE sales between July 1996 and December 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 May 2005 sale was for 45% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 45% below the HPI over time, until the December 2023 sale, where it falls to 50% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 50% below the HPI.

What might SILK COTTAGE be worth now?

SILK COTTAGE might now be worth an estimated £238,308.

This is based on house price inflation of 4.5%, between December 2023 and February 2025, for detached houses, in the Derbyshire Dales local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 4.5% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for SILK COTTAGE of £228,000 on 5th December 2023. For the value to have increased from £228,000 to £238,308 over the two years and ten months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of SILK COTTAGE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Derbyshire Dales local authority area.
• The December 2023 sale price of £228,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of SILK COTTAGE has not materially changed since December 2023.
