WALNUT COTTAGE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Fareham local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two WALNUT COTTAGE sales from June 2010 and August 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 2010 sale was for 37% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 37% above the HPI over time, until the August 2012 sale, where it rises to 80% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 80% above the HPI.

What might WALNUT COTTAGE be worth now?

WALNUT COTTAGE might now be worth an estimated £987,043.

This is based on house price inflation of 70.2%, between August 2012 and December 2024, for detached houses, in the Fareham local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 70.2% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for WALNUT COTTAGE of £580,000 on 14th August 2012. For the value to have increased from £580,000 to £987,043 over the eleven years and eight months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of WALNUT COTTAGE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Fareham local authority area.
• The August 2012 sale price of £580,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of WALNUT COTTAGE has not materially changed since August 2012.
