THE COTTAGE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Cotswold local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two THE COTTAGE sales from October 1999 and October 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 October 1999 sale was for 12% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 12% below the HPI over time, until the October 2005 sale, where it falls to 18% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 18% below the HPI.

What might THE COTTAGE be worth now?

THE COTTAGE might now be worth an estimated £570,331.

This is based on house price inflation of 99.1%, between October 2005 and February 2025, for detached houses, in the Cotswold local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 99.1% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for THE COTTAGE of £286,500 on 20th October 2005. For the value to have increased from £286,500 to £570,331 over the twenty years and eight 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 Cotswold local authority area.
• The October 2005 sale price of £286,500 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of THE COTTAGE has not materially changed since October 2005.
