FERN COTTAGE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average semi-detached house price in the South Holland local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three FERN COTTAGE sales between October 1998 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 December 2009 sale was for 28% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 28% below the HPI over time, until the September 2013 sale, where it rises to 19% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 19% below the HPI.

What might FERN COTTAGE be worth now?

FERN COTTAGE might now be worth an estimated £155,643.

This is based on house price inflation of 65.6%, between September 2013 and February 2025, for semi-detached houses, in the South Holland local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 65.6% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for FERN COTTAGE of £94,000 on 2nd September 2013. For the value to have increased from £94,000 to £155,643 over the twelve years and seven months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of FERN COTTAGE has moved in line with the HPI for semi-detached houses in the South Holland local authority area.
• The September 2013 sale price of £94,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of FERN COTTAGE has not materially changed since September 2013.
