LILAC COTTAGE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average terraced house price in the North West Leicestershire local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two LILAC COTTAGE sales from July 2015 and February 2024 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 July 2015 sale was for 19% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 19% above the HPI over time, until the February 2024 sale, where it falls to 18% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 18% above the HPI.

What might LILAC COTTAGE be worth now?

LILAC COTTAGE might now be worth an estimated £227,814.

This is based on house price inflation of 6%, between February 2024 and August 2025, for terraced houses, in the North West Leicestershire local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 6% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for LILAC COTTAGE of £215,000 on 16th February 2024. For the value to have increased from £215,000 to £227,814 over the six months to August 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of LILAC COTTAGE has moved in line with the HPI for terraced houses in the North West Leicestershire local authority area.
• The February 2024 sale price of £215,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
