WHITE COTTAGE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Cherwell local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three WHITE COTTAGE sales between April 2011 and May 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 December 2013 sale was for 15% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 15% below the HPI over time, until the May 2024 sale, where it rises to 4% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 4% above the HPI.

What might WHITE COTTAGE be worth now?

WHITE COTTAGE might now be worth an estimated £608,434.

This is based on house price inflation of 6.7%, between May 2024 and December 2024, for detached houses, in the Cherwell local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 6.7% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for WHITE COTTAGE of £570,000 on 29th May 2024. For the value to have increased from £570,000 to £608,434 over the five months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of WHITE COTTAGE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Cherwell local authority area.
• The May 2024 sale price of £570,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of WHITE COTTAGE has not materially changed since May 2024.
