COTTAGE CROFT Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Cumberland local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two COTTAGE CROFT sales from August 1997 and December 2017 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 1997 sale was for 10% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 10% above the HPI over time, until the December 2017 sale, where it falls to 11% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 11% below the HPI.

What might COTTAGE CROFT be worth now?

COTTAGE CROFT might now be worth an estimated £252,078.

This is based on house price inflation of 29.3%, between December 2017 and March 2026, for detached houses, in the Cumberland local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 29.3% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for COTTAGE CROFT of £195,000 on 19th December 2017. For the value to have increased from £195,000 to £252,078 over the nine years and nine months to March 2026, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of COTTAGE CROFT has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Cumberland local authority area.
• The December 2017 sale price of £195,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of COTTAGE CROFT has not materially changed since December 2017.
