THE OLD COTTAGE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Somerset local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two THE OLD COTTAGE sales from March 1996 and June 2009 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 March 1996 sale was for 48% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 48% below the HPI over time, until the June 2009 sale, where it rises to 5% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 5% below the HPI.

What might THE OLD COTTAGE be worth now?

THE OLD COTTAGE might now be worth an estimated £438,514.

This is based on house price inflation of 79.7%, between June 2009 and February 2025, for detached houses, in the Somerset local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 79.7% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for THE OLD COTTAGE of £244,000 on 29th June 2009. For the value to have increased from £244,000 to £438,514 over the sixteen years and four 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 Somerset local authority area.
• The June 2009 sale price of £244,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of THE OLD COTTAGE has not materially changed since June 2009.
