WHITE COTTAGE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Harborough local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two WHITE COTTAGE sales from April 1998 and April 2024 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 April 1998 sale was for 12% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 12% below the HPI over time, until the April 2024 sale, where it falls to 22% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 22% below the HPI.

What might WHITE COTTAGE be worth now?

WHITE COTTAGE might now be worth an estimated £379,622.

This is based on house price inflation of 6.9%, between April 2024 and February 2025, for detached houses, in the Harborough local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 6.9% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for WHITE COTTAGE of £355,000 on 26th April 2024. For the value to have increased from £355,000 to £379,622 over the one year and two months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of WHITE COTTAGE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Harborough local authority area.
• The April 2024 sale price of £355,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of WHITE COTTAGE has not materially changed since April 2024.
