SWALLOW COTTAGE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Stratford-on-Avon local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two SWALLOW COTTAGE sales from December 2000 and May 2019 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 December 2000 sale was for 39% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 39% above the HPI over time, until the May 2019 sale, where it falls to 32% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 32% above the HPI.

What might SWALLOW COTTAGE be worth now?

SWALLOW COTTAGE might now be worth an estimated £789,917.

This is based on house price inflation of 22.5%, between May 2019 and December 2024, for detached houses, in the Stratford-on-Avon local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 22.5% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for SWALLOW COTTAGE of £645,000 on 28th May 2019. For the value to have increased from £645,000 to £789,917 over the four years and five months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of SWALLOW COTTAGE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Stratford-on-Avon local authority area.
• The May 2019 sale price of £645,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of SWALLOW COTTAGE has not materially changed since May 2019.
