THE OLD COTTAGE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Uttlesford local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The four THE OLD COTTAGE sales between August 1998 and May 2006 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 2002 sale was for 55% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 55% below the HPI over time, until the May 2006 sale, where it rises to 51% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 51% below the HPI.

What might THE OLD COTTAGE be worth now?

THE OLD COTTAGE might now be worth an estimated £357,128.

This is based on house price inflation of 93%, between May 2006 and February 2025, for detached houses, in the Uttlesford local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 93% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for THE OLD COTTAGE of £185,000 on 3rd May 2006. For the value to have increased from £185,000 to £357,128 over the nineteen years and three 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 Uttlesford local authority area.
• The May 2006 sale price of £185,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of THE OLD COTTAGE has not materially changed since May 2006.
