VIXEN COTTAGE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Cherwell local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three VIXEN COTTAGE sales between December 1999 and August 2005 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 2001 sale was for 22% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 22% below the HPI over time, until the August 2005 sale, where it falls to 24% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 24% below the HPI.

What might VIXEN COTTAGE be worth now?

VIXEN COTTAGE might now be worth an estimated £434,793.

This is based on house price inflation of 89.1%, between August 2005 and February 2025, for detached houses, in the Cherwell local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 89.1% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for VIXEN COTTAGE of £229,950 on 19th August 2005. For the value to have increased from £229,950 to £434,793 over the twenty years and six months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of VIXEN COTTAGE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Cherwell local authority area.
• The August 2005 sale price of £229,950 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of VIXEN COTTAGE has not materially changed since August 2005.
