THORALBY COTTAGE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average semi-detached house price in the South Oxfordshire local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two THORALBY COTTAGE sales from November 1995 and August 2003 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 November 1995 sale was for 42% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 42% above the HPI over time, until the August 2003 sale, where it falls to 27% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 27% above the HPI.

What might THORALBY COTTAGE be worth now?

THORALBY COTTAGE might now be worth an estimated £588,456.

This is based on house price inflation of 140.2%, between August 2003 and February 2025, for semi-detached houses, in the South Oxfordshire local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 140.2% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for THORALBY COTTAGE of £245,000 on 15th August 2003. For the value to have increased from £245,000 to £588,456 over the 22 years and six months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of THORALBY COTTAGE has moved in line with the HPI for semi-detached houses in the South Oxfordshire local authority area.
• The August 2003 sale price of £245,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of THORALBY COTTAGE has not materially changed since August 2003.
