OLD SCHOOL COTTAGE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average semi-detached house price in the Westmorland and Furness local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two OLD SCHOOL COTTAGE sales from July 1997 and September 2019 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 1997 sale was for 99% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 99% above the HPI over time, until the September 2019 sale, where it rises to 189% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 189% above the HPI.

What might OLD SCHOOL COTTAGE be worth now?

OLD SCHOOL COTTAGE might now be worth an estimated £673,442.

This is based on house price inflation of 16.1%, between September 2019 and July 2025, for semi-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 16.1% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for OLD SCHOOL COTTAGE of £580,000 on 26th September 2019. For the value to have increased from £580,000 to £673,442 over the six years and two months to July 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of OLD SCHOOL COTTAGE has moved in line with the HPI for semi-detached houses in the Westmorland and Furness local authority area.
• The September 2019 sale price of £580,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
