PEAR TREE COTTAGE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Cherwell local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two PEAR TREE COTTAGE sales from August 2003 and May 2008 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 2003 sale was for 48% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 48% below the HPI over time, until the May 2008 sale, where it falls to 54% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 54% below the HPI.

What might PEAR TREE COTTAGE be worth now?

PEAR TREE COTTAGE might now be worth an estimated £267,778.

This is based on house price inflation of 67.4%, between May 2008 and August 2025, for detached houses, in the Cherwell local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 67.4% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for PEAR TREE COTTAGE of £160,000 on 14th May 2008. For the value to have increased from £160,000 to £267,778 over the sixteen years and nine months to August 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of PEAR TREE COTTAGE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Cherwell local authority area.
• The May 2008 sale price of £160,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of PEAR TREE COTTAGE has not materially changed since May 2008.
