THE LEYS COTTAGE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Derbyshire Dales local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three THE LEYS COTTAGE sales between September 1999 and April 2018 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 July 2015 sale was for 3% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 3% above the HPI over time, until the April 2018 sale, where it rises to 10% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 10% above the HPI.

What might THE LEYS COTTAGE be worth now?

THE LEYS COTTAGE might now be worth an estimated £528,375.

This is based on house price inflation of 37.2%, between April 2018 and February 2025, for detached houses, in the Derbyshire Dales local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 37.2% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for THE LEYS COTTAGE of £385,000 on 3rd April 2018. For the value to have increased from £385,000 to £528,375 over the seven years and two months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of THE LEYS COTTAGE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Derbyshire Dales local authority area.
• The April 2018 sale price of £385,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of THE LEYS COTTAGE has not materially changed since April 2018.
