BEAM COTTAGE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Test Valley local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The five BEAM COTTAGE sales between March 1999 and February 2025 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 January 2014 sale was for 91% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 91% above the HPI over time, until the February 2025 sale, where it falls to 38% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 38% above the HPI.

What might BEAM COTTAGE be worth now?

BEAM COTTAGE might now be worth an estimated £876,003.

This is based on house price inflation of 1.9%, between February 2025 and August 2025, for detached houses, in the Test Valley local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 1.9% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for BEAM COTTAGE of £860,000 on 7th February 2025. For the value to have increased from £860,000 to £876,003 over the six months to August 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of BEAM COTTAGE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Test Valley local authority area.
• The February 2025 sale price of £860,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of BEAM COTTAGE has not materially changed since February 2025.
