VALLEY COTTAGE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Bromsgrove local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two VALLEY COTTAGE sales from June 2001 and March 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 June 2001 sale was for 14% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 14% below the HPI over time, until the March 2012 sale, where it rises to 31% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 31% above the HPI.

What might VALLEY COTTAGE be worth now?

VALLEY COTTAGE might now be worth an estimated £675,741.

This is based on house price inflation of 68.9%, between March 2012 and March 2025, for detached houses, in the Bromsgrove local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 68.9% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for VALLEY COTTAGE of £400,000 on 23rd March 2012. For the value to have increased from £400,000 to £675,741 over the thirteen years to March 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of VALLEY COTTAGE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Bromsgrove local authority area.
• The March 2012 sale price of £400,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of VALLEY COTTAGE has not materially changed since March 2012.
