THE OLD COTTAGE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the West Oxfordshire local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two THE OLD COTTAGE sales from January 1998 and September 2017 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 January 1998 sale was for 6% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 6% below the HPI over time, until the September 2017 sale, where it falls to 19% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 19% below the HPI.

What might THE OLD COTTAGE be worth now?

THE OLD COTTAGE might now be worth an estimated £539,751.

This is based on house price inflation of 18.6%, between September 2017 and July 2025, for detached houses, in the West Oxfordshire local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 18.6% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for THE OLD COTTAGE of £455,000 on 15th September 2017. For the value to have increased from £455,000 to £539,751 over the eight years and two months to July 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of THE OLD COTTAGE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the West Oxfordshire local authority area.
• The September 2017 sale price of £455,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of THE OLD COTTAGE has not materially changed since September 2017.
