YORK COTTAGE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Trafford local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three YORK COTTAGE sales between September 2002 and August 2017 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 183% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 183% above the HPI over time, until the August 2017 sale, where it rises to 210% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 210% above the HPI.

What might YORK COTTAGE be worth now?

The 43.6% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for YORK COTTAGE of £1,650,000 on 16th August 2017. For the value to have increased from £1,650,000 to £2,370,216 over the eight years and six months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:
