THE COTTAGE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Calderdale local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three THE COTTAGE sales between March 2001 and August 2014 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 12% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 12% above the HPI over time, until the August 2014 sale, where it rises to 14% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 14% above the HPI.

What might THE COTTAGE be worth now?

THE COTTAGE might now be worth an estimated £398,180.

This is based on house price inflation of 60.9%, between August 2014 and February 2025, for detached houses, in the Calderdale local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 60.9% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for THE COTTAGE of £247,500 on 15th August 2014. For the value to have increased from £247,500 to £398,180 over the eleven years and six months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of THE COTTAGE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Calderdale local authority area.
• The August 2014 sale price of £247,500 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of THE COTTAGE has not materially changed since August 2014.
