WESTERN COTTAGE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Stroud local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two WESTERN COTTAGE sales from September 1997 and May 2019 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 September 1997 sale was for 30% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 30% above the HPI over time, until the May 2019 sale, where it rises to 32% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 32% above the HPI.

What might WESTERN COTTAGE be worth now?

WESTERN COTTAGE might now be worth an estimated £711,602.

This is based on house price inflation of 25.4%, between May 2019 and February 2025, for detached houses, in the Stroud local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 25.4% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for WESTERN COTTAGE of £567,500 on 20th May 2019. For the value to have increased from £567,500 to £711,602 over the six years and three months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of WESTERN COTTAGE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Stroud local authority area.
• The May 2019 sale price of £567,500 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of WESTERN COTTAGE has not materially changed since May 2019.
