THE OLD COTTAGE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average semi-detached house price in the Somerset local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The four THE OLD COTTAGE sales between September 1996 and May 2014 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 2002 sale was for 10% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 10% above the HPI over time, until the May 2014 sale, where it falls to 13% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 13% below the HPI.

What might THE OLD COTTAGE be worth now?

THE OLD COTTAGE might now be worth an estimated £245,365.

This is based on house price inflation of 56.3%, between May 2014 and June 2025, for semi-detached houses, in the Somerset local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 56.3% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for THE OLD COTTAGE of £157,000 on 27th May 2014. For the value to have increased from £157,000 to £245,365 over the ten years and eleven months to June 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of THE OLD COTTAGE has moved in line with the HPI for semi-detached houses in the Somerset local authority area.
• The May 2014 sale price of £157,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of THE OLD COTTAGE has not materially changed since May 2014.
