WESTWING COTTAGE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Shropshire local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three WESTWING COTTAGE sales between January 1997 and November 2015 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 November 1997 sale was for 50% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 50% below the HPI over time, until the November 2015 sale, where it rises to roughly the same level as the HPI. The line then continues to track in line with the HPI.

What might WESTWING COTTAGE be worth now?

WESTWING COTTAGE might now be worth an estimated £423,725.

This is based on house price inflation of 48.7%, between November 2015 and July 2025, for detached houses, in the Shropshire local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 48.7% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for WESTWING COTTAGE of £285,000 on 20th November 2015. For the value to have increased from £285,000 to £423,725 over the ten years and four months to July 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of WESTWING COTTAGE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Shropshire local authority area.
• The November 2015 sale price of £285,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of WESTWING COTTAGE has not materially changed since November 2015.
