2 MAYS COTTAGE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average semi-detached house price in the Tendring local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 2 MAYS COTTAGE sales from August 2000 and July 2022 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 7% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 7% above the HPI over time, until the July 2022 sale, where it falls to 2% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 2% below the HPI.

What might 2 MAYS COTTAGE be worth now?

2 MAYS COTTAGE might now be worth an estimated £253,625.

This is based on house price deflation of 0.5%, between July 2022 and February 2025, for semi-detached houses, in the Tendring local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 0.5% deflationary decrease is applied to the most recent sale price for 2 MAYS COTTAGE of £255,000 on 4th July 2022. For the value to have decreased from £255,000 to £253,625 over the three years and five months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 2 MAYS COTTAGE has moved in line with the HPI for semi-detached houses in the Tendring local authority area.
• The July 2022 sale price of £255,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
