TONGUES COTTAGE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Wyre local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three TONGUES COTTAGE sales between July 2004 and January 2025 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 2008 sale was for 9% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 9% above the HPI over time, until the January 2025 sale, which was also at 9% above the HPI.

What might TONGUES COTTAGE be worth now?

TONGUES COTTAGE might now be worth an estimated £337,479.

This is based on house price inflation of 2.1%, between January 2025 and February 2025, for detached houses, in the Wyre local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 2.1% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for TONGUES COTTAGE of £330,500 on 10th January 2025. For the value to have increased from £330,500 to £337,479 over the eleven months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of TONGUES COTTAGE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Wyre local authority area.
• The January 2025 sale price of £330,500 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of TONGUES COTTAGE has not materially changed since January 2025.
