WHOOPER COTTAGE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average semi-detached house price in the Newcastle-under-Lyme local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three WHOOPER COTTAGE sales between November 2015 and November 2022 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 January 2018 sale was for 3% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 3% below the HPI over time, until the November 2022 sale, where it falls to 9% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 9% below the HPI.

What might WHOOPER COTTAGE be worth now?

WHOOPER COTTAGE might now be worth an estimated £171,601.

This is based on house price inflation of 7.3%, between November 2022 and December 2024, for semi-detached houses, in the Newcastle-under-Lyme local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 7.3% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for WHOOPER COTTAGE of £160,000 on 15th November 2022. For the value to have increased from £160,000 to £171,601 over the one year and eleven months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of WHOOPER COTTAGE has moved in line with the HPI for semi-detached houses in the Newcastle-under-Lyme local authority area.
• The November 2022 sale price of £160,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of WHOOPER COTTAGE has not materially changed since November 2022.
