1 ELDER COTTAGE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average semi-detached house price in the Arun local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The four 1 ELDER COTTAGE sales between May 1998 and July 2012 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 May 2004 sale was for 154% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 154% above the HPI over time, until the July 2012 sale, where it falls to 128% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 128% above the HPI.

What might 1 ELDER COTTAGE be worth now?

1 ELDER COTTAGE might now be worth an estimated £824,833.

This is based on house price inflation of 71.8%, between July 2012 and February 2025, for semi-detached houses, in the Arun local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 71.8% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 1 ELDER COTTAGE of £480,000 on 11th July 2012. For the value to have increased from £480,000 to £824,833 over the thirteen years and five months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 1 ELDER COTTAGE has moved in line with the HPI for semi-detached houses in the Arun local authority area.
• The July 2012 sale price of £480,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of 1 ELDER COTTAGE has not materially changed since July 2012.
