WESTAWAY COTTAGE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Somerset local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three WESTAWAY COTTAGE sales between September 2002 and March 2016 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 2006 sale was for 51% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 51% below the HPI over time, until the March 2016 sale, where it falls to 64% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 64% below the HPI.

What might WESTAWAY COTTAGE be worth now?

WESTAWAY COTTAGE might now be worth an estimated £163,644.

This is based on house price inflation of 38.7%, between March 2016 and March 2025, for detached houses, in the Somerset local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 38.7% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for WESTAWAY COTTAGE of £118,000 on 30th March 2016. For the value to have increased from £118,000 to £163,644 over the nine years to March 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of WESTAWAY COTTAGE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Somerset local authority area.
