ELM COTTAGE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Wiltshire local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The five ELM COTTAGE sales between April 1997 and September 2013 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 2011 sale was for 2% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 2% above the HPI over time, until the September 2013 sale, where it falls to 5% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 5% below the HPI.

What might ELM COTTAGE be worth now?

ELM COTTAGE might now be worth an estimated £484,585.

This is based on house price inflation of 54.3%, between September 2013 and June 2025, for detached houses, in the Wiltshire local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 54.3% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for ELM COTTAGE of £314,000 on 20th September 2013. For the value to have increased from £314,000 to £484,585 over the twelve years and three months to June 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of ELM COTTAGE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Wiltshire local authority area.
• The September 2013 sale price of £314,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of ELM COTTAGE has not materially changed since September 2013.
