VERNON COTTAGE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Stafford local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two VERNON COTTAGE sales from February 2016 and March 2019 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 February 2016 sale was for 40% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 40% below the HPI over time, until the March 2019 sale, where it rises to 20% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 20% below the HPI.

What might VERNON COTTAGE be worth now?

VERNON COTTAGE might now be worth an estimated £310,279.

This is based on house price inflation of 27.7%, between March 2019 and February 2025, for detached houses, in the Stafford local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 27.7% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for VERNON COTTAGE of £243,000 on 29th March 2019. For the value to have increased from £243,000 to £310,279 over the six years and one month to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of VERNON COTTAGE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Stafford local authority area.
• The March 2019 sale price of £243,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of VERNON COTTAGE has not materially changed since March 2019.
