WILLOW COTTAGE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the High Peak local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two WILLOW COTTAGE sales from October 2005 and December 2011 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 October 2005 sale was for 99% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 99% above the HPI over time, until the December 2011 sale, where it rises to 190% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 190% above the HPI.

What might WILLOW COTTAGE be worth now?

WILLOW COTTAGE might now be worth an estimated £1,308,056.

This is based on house price inflation of 84.2%, between December 2011 and February 2025, for detached houses, in the High Peak local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 84.2% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for WILLOW COTTAGE of £710,000 on 14th December 2011. For the value to have increased from £710,000 to £1,308,056 over the fourteen years and ten 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 High Peak local authority area.
• The December 2011 sale price of £710,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of WILLOW COTTAGE has not materially changed since December 2011.
