ELM COTTAGE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average semi-detached house price in the Cherwell local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three ELM COTTAGE sales between January 1997 and February 2020 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 March 2001 sale was for 75% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 75% above the HPI over time, until the February 2020 sale, where it rises to 80% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 80% above the HPI.

What might ELM COTTAGE be worth now?

ELM COTTAGE might now be worth an estimated £641,434.

This is based on house price inflation of 25.9%, between February 2020 and August 2025, for semi-detached houses, in the Cherwell local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 25.9% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for ELM COTTAGE of £509,500 on 25th February 2020. For the value to have increased from £509,500 to £641,434 over the four years and six months to August 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:
