SWISS COTTAGE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Westmorland and Furness local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The four SWISS COTTAGE sales between November 2002 and November 2017 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 2007 sale was for 60% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 60% above the HPI over time, until the November 2017 sale, where it rises to 69% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 69% above the HPI.

What might SWISS COTTAGE be worth now?

SWISS COTTAGE might now be worth an estimated £677,606.

This is based on house price inflation of 31.6%, between November 2017 and March 2025, for detached houses, in the Westmorland and Furness local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 31.6% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for SWISS COTTAGE of £515,000 on 10th November 2017. For the value to have increased from £515,000 to £677,606 over the eight years and eight months to March 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of SWISS COTTAGE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Westmorland and Furness local authority area.
• The November 2017 sale price of £515,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of SWISS COTTAGE has not materially changed since November 2017.
