WHITE COTTAGE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Telford and Wrekin local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two WHITE COTTAGE sales from February 1996 and March 1999 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 1996 sale was for 55% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 55% above the HPI over time, until the March 1999 sale, where it rises to 129% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 129% above the HPI.

What might WHITE COTTAGE be worth now?

WHITE COTTAGE might now be worth an estimated £770,080.

This is based on house price inflation of 316.3%, between March 1999 and February 2025, for detached houses, in the Telford and Wrekin local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 316.3% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for WHITE COTTAGE of £185,000 on 24th March 1999. For the value to have increased from £185,000 to £770,080 over the 26 years and one month 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 Telford and Wrekin local authority area.
• The March 1999 sale price of £185,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of WHITE COTTAGE has not materially changed since March 1999.
