WILLOW COTTAGE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Wiltshire local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three WILLOW COTTAGE sales between August 1997 and June 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 August 2003 sale was for 64% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 64% above the HPI over time, until the June 2014 sale, where it rises to 76% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 76% above the HPI.

What might WILLOW COTTAGE be worth now?

WILLOW COTTAGE might now be worth an estimated £914,530.

This is based on house price inflation of 56.3%, between June 2014 and February 2025, for detached houses, in the Wiltshire local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 56.3% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for WILLOW COTTAGE of £585,000 on 16th June 2014. For the value to have increased from £585,000 to £914,530 over the eleven years and four months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of WILLOW COTTAGE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Wiltshire local authority area.
• The June 2014 sale price of £585,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of WILLOW COTTAGE has not materially changed since June 2014.
