SOUTHERN COTTAGE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Calderdale local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two SOUTHERN COTTAGE sales from May 2016 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 2016 sale was for 21% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 21% above the HPI over time, until the December 2023 sale, where it falls to 10% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 10% below the HPI.

What might SOUTHERN COTTAGE be worth now?

SOUTHERN COTTAGE might now be worth an estimated £313,439.

This is based on house price inflation of 2.8%, between December 2023 and February 2025, for detached houses, in the Calderdale local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 2.8% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for SOUTHERN COTTAGE of £305,000 on 15th December 2023. For the value to have increased from £305,000 to £313,439 over the two years and ten months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of SOUTHERN COTTAGE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Calderdale local authority area.
• The December 2023 sale price of £305,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of SOUTHERN COTTAGE has not materially changed since December 2023.
