THE COTTAGE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average semi-detached house price in the Harborough local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two THE COTTAGE sales from February 2013 and February 2019 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 February 2013 sale was for 29% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 29% above the HPI over time, until the February 2019 sale, where it rises to 49% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 49% above the HPI.

What might THE COTTAGE be worth now?

THE COTTAGE might now be worth an estimated £463,223.

This is based on house price inflation of 31.4%, between February 2019 and December 2024, for semi-detached houses, in the Harborough local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 31.4% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for THE COTTAGE of £352,500 on 1st February 2019. For the value to have increased from £352,500 to £463,223 over the four years and two months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of THE COTTAGE has moved in line with the HPI for semi-detached houses in the Harborough local authority area.
• The February 2019 sale price of £352,500 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of THE COTTAGE has not materially changed since February 2019.
