WINDMILL COTTAGE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Wirral local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three WINDMILL COTTAGE sales between April 1997 and August 2004 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 2000 sale was for 68% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 68% below the HPI over time, until the August 2004 sale, where it rises to 51% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 51% below the HPI.

What might WINDMILL COTTAGE be worth now?

WINDMILL COTTAGE might now be worth an estimated £179,987.

This is based on house price inflation of 71.4%, between August 2004 and December 2024, for detached houses, in the Wirral local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 71.4% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for WINDMILL COTTAGE of £105,000 on 27th August 2004. For the value to have increased from £105,000 to £179,987 over the nineteen years and eight months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of WINDMILL COTTAGE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Wirral local authority area.
• The August 2004 sale price of £105,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of WINDMILL COTTAGE has not materially changed since August 2004.
