SMITHY COTTAGE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Westmorland and Furness local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three SMITHY COTTAGE sales between June 1997 and July 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 January 2022 sale was for 63% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 63% below the HPI over time, until the July 2023 sale, where it rises to 41% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 41% below the HPI.

What might SMITHY COTTAGE be worth now?

SMITHY COTTAGE might now be worth an estimated £237,476.

This is based on house price inflation of 7.9%, between July 2023 and December 2024, for detached houses, in the Westmorland and Furness local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 7.9% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for SMITHY COTTAGE of £220,000 on 26th July 2023. For the value to have increased from £220,000 to £237,476 over the seven months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of SMITHY COTTAGE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Westmorland and Furness local authority area.
• The July 2023 sale price of £220,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
