WEST COTTAGE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Cornwall local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three WEST COTTAGE sales between May 1995 and August 2023 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 October 2009 sale was for 4% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 4% above the HPI over time, until the August 2023 sale, where it falls to 7% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 7% below the HPI.

What might WEST COTTAGE be worth now?

WEST COTTAGE might now be worth an estimated £413,495.

This is based on house price deflation of 1.5%, between August 2023 and December 2024, for detached houses, in the Cornwall local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 1.5% deflationary decrease is applied to the most recent sale price for WEST COTTAGE of £420,000 on 15th August 2023. For the value to have decreased from £420,000 to £413,495 over the eight months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of WEST COTTAGE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Cornwall local authority area.
• The August 2023 sale price of £420,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of WEST COTTAGE has not materially changed since August 2023.
