MAY COTTAGE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the West Lindsey local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two MAY COTTAGE sales from December 1999 and March 2025 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 December 1999 sale was for 19% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 19% above the HPI over time, until the March 2025 sale, where it rises to 46% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 46% above the HPI.

What might MAY COTTAGE be worth now?

MAY COTTAGE might now be worth an estimated £208,445.

This is based on house price inflation of 1.7%, between March 2025 and May 2026, for terraced houses, in the West Lindsey local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 1.7% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for MAY COTTAGE of £205,000 on 11th March 2025. For the value to have increased from £205,000 to £208,445 over the ten months to May 2026, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of MAY COTTAGE has moved in line with the HPI for terraced houses in the West Lindsey local authority area.
• The March 2025 sale price of £205,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of MAY COTTAGE has not materially changed since March 2025.
