YE OLD COTTAGE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average semi-detached house price in the Somerset local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The five YE OLD COTTAGE sales between June 2000 and December 2015 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 April 2015 sale was for 48% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 48% above the HPI over time, until the December 2015 sale, where it falls to 41% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 41% above the HPI.

What might YE OLD COTTAGE be worth now?

YE OLD COTTAGE might now be worth an estimated £408,177.

This is based on house price inflation of 48.4%, between December 2015 and February 2025, for semi-detached houses, in the Somerset local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 48.4% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for YE OLD COTTAGE of £275,000 on 22nd December 2015. For the value to have increased from £275,000 to £408,177 over the ten years and ten months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of YE OLD COTTAGE has moved in line with the HPI for semi-detached houses in the Somerset local authority area.
• The December 2015 sale price of £275,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of YE OLD COTTAGE has not materially changed since December 2015.
