WHITE 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 two WHITE COTTAGE sales from February 2003 and January 2010 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 February 2003 sale was for 11% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 11% above the HPI over time, until the January 2010 sale, where it falls to 17% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 17% below the HPI.

What might WHITE COTTAGE be worth now?

WHITE COTTAGE might now be worth an estimated £375,204.

This is based on house price inflation of 63.5%, between January 2010 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 63.5% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for WHITE COTTAGE of £229,500 on 8th January 2010. For the value to have increased from £229,500 to £375,204 over the fourteen years and ten months to March 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of WHITE COTTAGE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Somerset local authority area.
• The January 2010 sale price of £229,500 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of WHITE COTTAGE has not materially changed since January 2010.
