SPRING COTTAGE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average semi-detached house price in the New Forest local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three SPRING COTTAGE sales between July 2002 and July 2015 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 2005 sale was for 21% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 21% above the HPI over time, until the July 2015 sale, where it rises to 36% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 36% above the HPI.

What might SPRING COTTAGE be worth now?

SPRING COTTAGE might now be worth an estimated £505,432.

This is based on house price inflation of 39.4%, between July 2015 and February 2025, for semi-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 39.4% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for SPRING COTTAGE of £362,500 on 24th July 2015. For the value to have increased from £362,500 to £505,432 over the ten years and five months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of SPRING COTTAGE has moved in line with the HPI for semi-detached houses in the New Forest local authority area.
• The July 2015 sale price of £362,500 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of SPRING COTTAGE has not materially changed since July 2015.
