YEW TREE COTTAGE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Herefordshire local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three YEW TREE COTTAGE sales between September 2002 and December 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 December 2006 sale was for 2% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 2% below the HPI over time, until the December 2020 sale, where it falls to 3% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 3% below the HPI.

What might YEW TREE COTTAGE be worth now?

YEW TREE COTTAGE might now be worth an estimated £429,097.

This is based on house price inflation of 14.4%, between December 2020 and February 2025, for detached houses, in the Herefordshire local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 14.4% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for YEW TREE COTTAGE of £375,000 on 3rd December 2020. For the value to have increased from £375,000 to £429,097 over the five years and ten months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of YEW TREE COTTAGE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Herefordshire local authority area.
• The December 2020 sale price of £375,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of YEW TREE COTTAGE has not materially changed since December 2020.
