WHITEHALL COTTAGE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the South Oxfordshire local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The four WHITEHALL COTTAGE sales between November 1996 and November 2021 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 July 2012 sale was for 94% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 94% above the HPI over time, until the November 2021 sale, where it falls to 68% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 68% above the HPI.

What might WHITEHALL COTTAGE be worth now?

WHITEHALL COTTAGE might now be worth an estimated £1,321,987.

This is based on house price inflation of 4.3%, between November 2021 and February 2025, for detached houses, in the South Oxfordshire local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 4.3% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for WHITEHALL COTTAGE of £1,267,500 on 1st November 2021. For the value to have increased from £1,267,500 to £1,321,987 over the four years and nine months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of WHITEHALL COTTAGE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the South Oxfordshire local authority area.
• The November 2021 sale price of £1,267,500 represented a fair market value for the property.
