TALBOT COTTAGE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Wirral local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two TALBOT COTTAGE sales from October 2002 and June 2013 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 2002 sale was for 20% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 20% below the HPI over time, until the June 2013 sale, where it rises to 30% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 30% above the HPI.

What might TALBOT COTTAGE be worth now?

TALBOT COTTAGE might now be worth an estimated £485,280.

This is based on house price inflation of 67.3%, between June 2013 and February 2025, for detached houses, in the Wirral local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 67.3% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for TALBOT COTTAGE of £290,000 on 4th June 2013. For the value to have increased from £290,000 to £485,280 over the twelve years and four months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of TALBOT COTTAGE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Wirral local authority area.
• The June 2013 sale price of £290,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of TALBOT COTTAGE has not materially changed since June 2013.
