WITTS COTTAGE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Winchester local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three WITTS COTTAGE sales between October 2010 and October 2020 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 2019 sale was for 25% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 25% below the HPI over time, until the October 2020 sale, where it rises to 21% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 21% below the HPI.

What might WITTS COTTAGE be worth now?

WITTS COTTAGE might now be worth an estimated £627,567.

This is based on house price inflation of 13.1%, between October 2020 and December 2024, for detached houses, in the Winchester local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 13.1% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for WITTS COTTAGE of £555,000 on 16th October 2020. For the value to have increased from £555,000 to £627,567 over the three years and ten months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of WITTS COTTAGE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Winchester local authority area.
• The October 2020 sale price of £555,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of WITTS COTTAGE has not materially changed since October 2020.
