THE COTTAGE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Bassetlaw local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two THE COTTAGE sales from October 2006 and April 2008 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 2006 sale was for 12% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 12% above the HPI over time, until the April 2008 sale, where it rises to 43% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 43% above the HPI.

What might THE COTTAGE be worth now?

THE COTTAGE might now be worth an estimated £448,545.

This is based on house price inflation of 63%, between April 2008 and February 2025, for detached houses, in the Bassetlaw local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 63% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for THE COTTAGE of £275,250 on 18th April 2008. For the value to have increased from £275,250 to £448,545 over the seventeen years and two 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 Bassetlaw local authority area.
• The April 2008 sale price of £275,250 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of THE COTTAGE has not materially changed since April 2008.
