TOWNSEND COTTAGE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average semi-detached house price in the Cornwall local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two TOWNSEND COTTAGE sales from December 1998 and June 2002 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 1998 sale was for 49% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 49% above the HPI over time, until the June 2002 sale, where it rises to 170% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 170% above the HPI.

What might TOWNSEND COTTAGE be worth now?

TOWNSEND COTTAGE might now be worth an estimated £754,018.

This is based on house price inflation of 179.3%, between June 2002 and April 2026, for semi-detached houses, in the Cornwall local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 179.3% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for TOWNSEND COTTAGE of £270,000 on 11th June 2002. For the value to have increased from £270,000 to £754,018 over the 24 years and two months to April 2026, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of TOWNSEND COTTAGE has moved in line with the HPI for semi-detached houses in the Cornwall local authority area.
• The June 2002 sale price of £270,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
