WHITE COTTAGE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Shropshire local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two WHITE COTTAGE sales from October 2008 and January 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 October 2008 sale was for 35% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 35% above the HPI over time, until the January 2014 sale, where it rises to 112% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 112% above the HPI.

What might WHITE COTTAGE be worth now?

WHITE COTTAGE might now be worth an estimated £882,942.

This is based on house price inflation of 60.5%, between January 2014 and February 2025, for detached houses, in the Shropshire local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 60.5% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for WHITE COTTAGE of £550,000 on 9th January 2014. For the value to have increased from £550,000 to £882,942 over the ten years and eleven 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 Shropshire local authority area.
• The January 2014 sale price of £550,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of WHITE COTTAGE has not materially changed since January 2014.
