STONE COTTAGE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Breckland local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two STONE COTTAGE sales from April 1997 and December 2016 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 April 1997 sale was for 9% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 9% above the HPI over time, until the December 2016 sale, where it rises to 28% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 28% above the HPI.

What might STONE COTTAGE be worth now?

STONE COTTAGE might now be worth an estimated £475,974.

This is based on house price inflation of 30.4%, between December 2016 and February 2025, for detached houses, in the Breckland local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 30.4% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for STONE COTTAGE of £365,000 on 12th December 2016. For the value to have increased from £365,000 to £475,974 over the nine years and ten months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of STONE COTTAGE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Breckland local authority area.
• The December 2016 sale price of £365,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of STONE COTTAGE has not materially changed since December 2016.
