GARDEN COTTAGE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Westmorland and Furness local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two GARDEN COTTAGE sales from November 1996 and December 2021 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 1996 sale was for 6% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 6% above the HPI over time, until the December 2021 sale, where it rises to 12% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 12% above the HPI.

What might GARDEN COTTAGE be worth now?

GARDEN COTTAGE might now be worth an estimated £434,277.

This is based on house price inflation of 12.8%, between December 2021 and May 2026, for detached houses, in the Westmorland and Furness local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 12.8% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for GARDEN COTTAGE of £385,000 on 21st December 2021. For the value to have increased from £385,000 to £434,277 over the five years and seven months to May 2026, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of GARDEN COTTAGE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Westmorland and Furness local authority area.
• The December 2021 sale price of £385,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of GARDEN COTTAGE has not materially changed since December 2021.
