OAK COTTAGE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the New Forest local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The four OAK COTTAGE sales between November 1998 and March 2014 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 August 2006 sale was for 28% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 28% below the HPI over time, until the March 2014 sale, where it falls to 38% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 38% below the HPI.

What might OAK COTTAGE be worth now?

OAK COTTAGE might now be worth an estimated £362,347.

This is based on house price inflation of 51%, between March 2014 and October 2025, for detached houses, in the New Forest local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 51% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for OAK COTTAGE of £240,000 on 31st March 2014. For the value to have increased from £240,000 to £362,347 over the ten years and five months to October 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of OAK COTTAGE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the New Forest local authority area.
• The March 2014 sale price of £240,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of OAK COTTAGE has not materially changed since March 2014.
