WEST LOW WOOD COTTAGE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average semi-detached house price in the Ashford local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The four WEST LOW WOOD COTTAGE sales between December 1998 and June 2021 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 January 2013 sale was for 62% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 62% above the HPI over time, until the June 2021 sale, where it rises to 98% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 98% above the HPI.

What might WEST LOW WOOD COTTAGE be worth now?

This is based on house price inflation of 13.4%, between June 2021 and February 2025, for semi-detached houses, in the Ashford local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 13.4% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for WEST LOW WOOD COTTAGE of £600,000 on 23rd June 2021. For the value to have increased from £600,000 to £680,517 over the four years and four months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:
