WESTBROOK COTTAGE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Herefordshire local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three WESTBROOK COTTAGE sales between December 2001 and May 2014 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 11% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 11% below the HPI over time, until the May 2014 sale, where it falls to 12% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 12% below the HPI.

What might WESTBROOK COTTAGE be worth now?

WESTBROOK COTTAGE might now be worth an estimated £388,922.

This is based on house price inflation of 55.6%, between May 2014 and February 2025, for detached houses, in the Herefordshire local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 55.6% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for WESTBROOK COTTAGE of £249,950 on 22nd May 2014. For the value to have increased from £249,950 to £388,922 over the eleven years and three months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of WESTBROOK COTTAGE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Herefordshire local authority area.
• The May 2014 sale price of £249,950 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of WESTBROOK COTTAGE has not materially changed since May 2014.
