THE COTTAGE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the New Forest local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three THE COTTAGE sales between January 2007 and April 2015 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 July 2013 sale was for 78% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 78% above the HPI over time, until the April 2015 sale, where it falls to 65% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 65% above the HPI.

What might THE COTTAGE be worth now?

THE COTTAGE might now be worth an estimated £958,601.

This is based on house price inflation of 39.4%, between April 2015 and December 2024, for detached houses, in the New Forest local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 39.4% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for THE COTTAGE of £687,500 on 30th April 2015. For the value to have increased from £687,500 to £958,601 over the eight years and four months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of THE COTTAGE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the New Forest local authority area.
• The April 2015 sale price of £687,500 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of THE COTTAGE has not materially changed since April 2015.
