WHITE COTTAGE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the East Lindsey local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The six WHITE COTTAGE sales between January 1995 and January 2016 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 August 2009 sale was for 19% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 19% above the HPI over time, until the January 2016 sale, where it falls to 4% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 4% below the HPI.

What might WHITE COTTAGE be worth now?

WHITE COTTAGE might now be worth an estimated £266,194.

This is based on house price inflation of 43.9%, between January 2016 and August 2025, for detached houses, in the East Lindsey local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 43.9% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for WHITE COTTAGE of £185,000 on 29th January 2016. For the value to have increased from £185,000 to £266,194 over the eight years and five months to August 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of WHITE COTTAGE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the East Lindsey local authority area.
• The January 2016 sale price of £185,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of WHITE COTTAGE has not materially changed since January 2016.
