ROCK COTTAGE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average terraced house price in the Isle of Wight local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two ROCK COTTAGE sales from June 2006 and December 2009 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 June 2006 sale was for 55% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 55% above the HPI over time, until the December 2009 sale, where it falls to 3% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 3% above the HPI.

What might ROCK COTTAGE be worth now?

ROCK COTTAGE might now be worth an estimated £219,495.

This is based on house price inflation of 56.8%, between December 2009 and July 2025, for terraced houses, in the Isle of Wight local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 56.8% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for ROCK COTTAGE of £140,000 on 30th December 2009. For the value to have increased from £140,000 to £219,495 over the sixteen years and five months to July 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of ROCK COTTAGE has moved in line with the HPI for terraced houses in the Isle of Wight local authority area.
• The December 2009 sale price of £140,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of ROCK COTTAGE has not materially changed since December 2009.
