THE OLD COTTAGE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Winchester local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two THE OLD COTTAGE sales from February 1997 and October 2013 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 February 1997 sale was for 31% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 31% below the HPI over time, until the October 2013 sale, where it rises to 28% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 28% below the HPI.

What might THE OLD COTTAGE be worth now?

THE OLD COTTAGE might now be worth an estimated £557,674.

This is based on house price inflation of 52.8%, between October 2013 and February 2025, for detached houses, in the Winchester local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 52.8% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for THE OLD COTTAGE of £365,000 on 4th October 2013. For the value to have increased from £365,000 to £557,674 over the twelve years and eight months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of THE OLD COTTAGE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Winchester local authority area.
• The October 2013 sale price of £365,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of THE OLD COTTAGE has not materially changed since October 2013.
