BAY TREE COTTAGE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the York local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two BAY TREE COTTAGE sales from April 2003 and December 2019 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 2003 sale was for 41% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 41% below the HPI over time, until the December 2019 sale, where it rises to 13% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 13% below the HPI.

What might BAY TREE COTTAGE be worth now?

The 26.1% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for BAY TREE COTTAGE of £356,000 on 4th December 2019. For the value to have increased from £356,000 to £448,904 over the six years and five months to July 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:
