TOP LOCK COTTAGE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the West Northamptonshire local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two TOP LOCK COTTAGE sales from July 2007 and February 2008 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 2007 sale was for 30% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 30% below the HPI over time, until the February 2008 sale, where it rises to 21% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 21% above the HPI.

What might TOP LOCK COTTAGE be worth now?

TOP LOCK COTTAGE might now be worth an estimated £575,901.

This is based on house price inflation of 60%, between February 2008 and February 2025, for detached houses, in the West Northamptonshire local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 60% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for TOP LOCK COTTAGE of £360,000 on 29th February 2008. For the value to have increased from £360,000 to £575,901 over the seventeen years to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of TOP LOCK COTTAGE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the West Northamptonshire local authority area.
• The February 2008 sale price of £360,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of TOP LOCK COTTAGE has not materially changed since February 2008.
