BRIDGE COTTAGE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Somerset local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The four BRIDGE COTTAGE sales between July 1996 and November 2024 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 2018 sale was for 6% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 6% below the HPI over time, until the November 2024 sale, where it rises to 3% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 3% below the HPI.

What might BRIDGE COTTAGE be worth now?

BRIDGE COTTAGE might now be worth an estimated £433,311.

This is based on house price deflation of 0.2%, between November 2024 and June 2025, for detached houses, in the Somerset local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 0.2% deflationary decrease is applied to the most recent sale price for BRIDGE COTTAGE of £434,000 on 18th November 2024. For the value to have decreased from £434,000 to £433,311 over the one year and five months to June 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of BRIDGE COTTAGE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Somerset local authority area.
• The November 2024 sale price of £434,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of BRIDGE COTTAGE has not materially changed since November 2024.
