OLD SWAN COTTAGE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Wiltshire local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three OLD SWAN COTTAGE sales between October 2001 and October 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 October 2003 sale was for 44% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 44% above the HPI over time, until the October 2014 sale, where it falls to 33% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 33% above the HPI.

What might OLD SWAN COTTAGE be worth now?

OLD SWAN COTTAGE might now be worth an estimated £688,937.

This is based on house price inflation of 46.6%, between October 2014 and February 2025, for detached houses, in the Wiltshire local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 46.6% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for OLD SWAN COTTAGE of £470,000 on 24th October 2014. For the value to have increased from £470,000 to £688,937 over the eleven years and eight months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of OLD SWAN COTTAGE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Wiltshire local authority area.
• The October 2014 sale price of £470,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
