SQUIRREL COTTAGE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Cumberland local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The four SQUIRREL COTTAGE sales between March 1999 and January 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 June 2022 sale was for 20% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 20% below the HPI over time, until the January 2023 sale, where it rises to 15% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 15% below the HPI.

What might SQUIRREL COTTAGE be worth now?

SQUIRREL COTTAGE might now be worth an estimated £236,429.

This is based on house price inflation of 7%, between January 2023 and February 2025, for detached houses, in the Cumberland local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 7% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for SQUIRREL COTTAGE of £221,000 on 12th January 2023. For the value to have increased from £221,000 to £236,429 over the one year and eleven months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of SQUIRREL COTTAGE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Cumberland local authority area.
• The January 2023 sale price of £221,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of SQUIRREL COTTAGE has not materially changed since January 2023.
