SUN COTTAGE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Stroud local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two SUN COTTAGE sales from July 2002 and March 2015 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 July 2002 sale was for 64% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 64% above the HPI over time, until the March 2015 sale, where it rises to 85% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 85% above the HPI.

What might SUN COTTAGE be worth now?

SUN COTTAGE might now be worth an estimated £973,470.

This is based on house price inflation of 49.1%, between March 2015 and December 2024, for detached houses, in the Stroud local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 49.1% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for SUN COTTAGE of £653,000 on 26th March 2015. For the value to have increased from £653,000 to £973,470 over the eight years and three months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of SUN COTTAGE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Stroud local authority area.
• The March 2015 sale price of £653,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of SUN COTTAGE has not materially changed since March 2015.
