THE COTTAGE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average semi-detached house price in the Newport local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The four THE COTTAGE sales between November 1997 and March 2023 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 May 2020 sale was for 15% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 15% below the HPI over time, until the March 2023 sale, where it rises to 4% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 4% above the HPI.

What might THE COTTAGE be worth now?

THE COTTAGE might now be worth an estimated £248,348.

This is based on house price inflation of 3.5%, between March 2023 and February 2025, for semi-detached houses, in the Newport local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 3.5% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for THE COTTAGE of £240,000 on 10th March 2023. For the value to have increased from £240,000 to £248,348 over the two years and one month to February 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 Newport local authority area.
• The March 2023 sale price of £240,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of THE COTTAGE has not materially changed since March 2023.
