TURNPIKE COTTAGE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Wiltshire local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two TURNPIKE COTTAGE sales from August 1997 and December 2012 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 August 1997 sale was for 17% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 17% below the HPI over time, until the December 2012 sale, where it falls to 30% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 30% below the HPI.

What might TURNPIKE COTTAGE be worth now?

TURNPIKE COTTAGE might now be worth an estimated £366,312.

This is based on house price inflation of 61.4%, between December 2012 and December 2024, for detached houses, in the Wiltshire local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 61.4% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for TURNPIKE COTTAGE of £227,000 on 7th December 2012. For the value to have increased from £227,000 to £366,312 over the twelve years to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of TURNPIKE COTTAGE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Wiltshire local authority area.
• The December 2012 sale price of £227,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of TURNPIKE COTTAGE has not materially changed since December 2012.
