BROOK COTTAGE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Stafford local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three BROOK COTTAGE sales between August 1995 and October 2010 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 2001 sale was for 47% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 47% above the HPI over time, until the October 2010 sale, where it rises to 49% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 49% above the HPI.

What might BROOK COTTAGE be worth now?

BROOK COTTAGE might now be worth an estimated £564,633.

This is based on house price inflation of 54.7%, between October 2010 and June 2025, for detached houses, in the Stafford local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 54.7% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for BROOK COTTAGE of £365,000 on 18th October 2010. For the value to have increased from £365,000 to £564,633 over the fifteen years and four months to June 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of BROOK COTTAGE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Stafford local authority area.
• The October 2010 sale price of £365,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of BROOK COTTAGE has not materially changed since October 2010.
