THE COTTAGE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average semi-detached house price in the Stroud local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two THE COTTAGE sales from September 1997 and August 2005 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 September 1997 sale was for 19% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 19% above the HPI over time, until the August 2005 sale, where it falls to 18% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 18% above the HPI.

What might THE COTTAGE be worth now?

THE COTTAGE might now be worth an estimated £393,009.

This is based on house price inflation of 82.8%, between August 2005 and March 2025, for semi-detached houses, in the Stroud local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 82.8% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for THE COTTAGE of £215,000 on 22nd August 2005. For the value to have increased from £215,000 to £393,009 over the twenty years and five months to March 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of THE COTTAGE has moved in line with the HPI for semi-detached houses in the Stroud local authority area.
• The August 2005 sale price of £215,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of THE COTTAGE has not materially changed since August 2005.
