THE COTTAGE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average semi-detached house price in the Sefton local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two THE COTTAGE sales from February 1997 and October 2005 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 February 1997 sale was for 47% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 47% below the HPI over time, until the October 2005 sale, where it rises to 146% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 146% above the HPI.

What might THE COTTAGE be worth now?

THE COTTAGE might now be worth an estimated £606,963.

This is based on house price inflation of 73.4%, between October 2005 and May 2026, for semi-detached houses, in the Sefton local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 73.4% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for THE COTTAGE of £350,000 on 21st October 2005. For the value to have increased from £350,000 to £606,963 over the 21 years and five months to May 2026, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of THE COTTAGE has moved in line with the HPI for semi-detached houses in the Sefton local authority area.
• The October 2005 sale price of £350,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of THE COTTAGE has not materially changed since October 2005.
