THE COTTAGE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Elmbridge local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three THE COTTAGE sales between November 1995 and May 1999 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 1997 sale was for 31% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 31% above the HPI over time, until the May 1999 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 £2,154,007.

This is based on house price inflation of 302.6%, between May 1999 and February 2025, for detached houses, in the Elmbridge local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 302.6% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for THE COTTAGE of £535,000 on 21st May 1999. For the value to have increased from £535,000 to £2,154,007 over the 26 years and three 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 Elmbridge local authority area.
• The May 1999 sale price of £535,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of THE COTTAGE has not materially changed since May 1999.
