The below graph shows the average semi-detached house price in the South Oxfordshire local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The four HARPSLAKE COTTAGE sales between March 1995 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 September 2013 sale was for 148% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 148% above the HPI over time, until the December 2017 sale, where it falls to 110% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 110% above the HPI.
HARPSLAKE COTTAGE might now be worth an estimated £976,379.
This is based on house price inflation of 28.5%, between December 2017 and February 2025, for semi-detached houses, in the South Oxfordshire local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).
The 28.5% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for HARPSLAKE COTTAGE of £760,000 on 20th December 2017. For the value to have increased from £760,000 to £976,379 over the eight years and ten months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:
