SWISS COTTAGE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the West Oxfordshire local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three SWISS COTTAGE sales between September 1996 and May 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 October 2007 sale was for 47% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 47% above the HPI over time, until the May 2016 sale, where it falls to 20% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 20% above the HPI.

What might SWISS COTTAGE be worth now?

SWISS COTTAGE might now be worth an estimated £779,868.

This is based on house price inflation of 22.8%, between May 2016 and December 2024, for detached houses, in the West Oxfordshire local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 22.8% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for SWISS COTTAGE of £635,000 on 6th May 2016. For the value to have increased from £635,000 to £779,868 over the seven years and five months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of SWISS COTTAGE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the West Oxfordshire local authority area.
• The May 2016 sale price of £635,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of SWISS COTTAGE has not materially changed since May 2016.
