THE COTTAGE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average semi-detached house price in the East Staffordshire local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two THE COTTAGE sales from September 2015 and November 2017 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 2015 sale was for 21% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 21% above the HPI over time, until the November 2017 sale, where it falls to 20% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 20% above the HPI.

What might THE COTTAGE be worth now?

THE COTTAGE might now be worth an estimated £266,873.

This is based on house price inflation of 38.6%, between November 2017 and December 2024, for semi-detached houses, in the East Staffordshire local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 38.6% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for THE COTTAGE of £192,500 on 22nd November 2017. For the value to have increased from £192,500 to £266,873 over the six years and eleven 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 East Staffordshire local authority area.
• The November 2017 sale price of £192,500 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of THE COTTAGE has not materially changed since November 2017.
