WILLOW COTTAGE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the New Forest local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two WILLOW COTTAGE sales from June 2003 and November 2005 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 June 2003 sale was for 13% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 13% below the HPI over time, until the November 2005 sale, where it rises to 5% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 5% above the HPI.

What might WILLOW COTTAGE be worth now?

WILLOW COTTAGE might now be worth an estimated £601,893.

This is based on house price inflation of 79.7%, between November 2005 and June 2025, for detached houses, in the New Forest local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 79.7% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for WILLOW COTTAGE of £335,000 on 25th November 2005. For the value to have increased from £335,000 to £601,893 over the twenty years and five months to June 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of WILLOW COTTAGE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the New Forest local authority area.
• The November 2005 sale price of £335,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of WILLOW COTTAGE has not materially changed since November 2005.
