BELL COTTAGE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average semi-detached house price in the West Northamptonshire local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three BELL COTTAGE sales between March 1998 and April 2016 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 November 2006 sale was for 50% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 50% above the HPI over time, until the April 2016 sale, where it rises to 58% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 58% above the HPI.

What might BELL COTTAGE be worth now?

BELL COTTAGE might now be worth an estimated £453,867.

This is based on house price inflation of 44.1%, between April 2016 and August 2025, for semi-detached houses, in the West Northamptonshire local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 44.1% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for BELL COTTAGE of £315,000 on 5th April 2016. For the value to have increased from £315,000 to £453,867 over the eight years and eight months to August 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of BELL COTTAGE has moved in line with the HPI for semi-detached houses in the West Northamptonshire local authority area.
• The April 2016 sale price of £315,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of BELL COTTAGE has not materially changed since April 2016.
