1 FIR COTTAGES Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average semi-detached house price in the Lewes local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 1 FIR COTTAGES sales from October 2001 and May 2021 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 October 2001 sale was for 19% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 19% below the HPI over time, until the May 2021 sale, where it rises to 14% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 14% below the HPI.

What might 1 FIR COTTAGES be worth now?

1 FIR COTTAGES might now be worth an estimated £340,626.

This is based on house price inflation of 10.8%, between May 2021 and February 2025, for semi-detached houses, in the Lewes local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 10.8% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 1 FIR COTTAGES of £307,500 on 6th May 2021. For the value to have increased from £307,500 to £340,626 over the four years and three months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 1 FIR COTTAGES has moved in line with the HPI for semi-detached houses in the Lewes local authority area.
• The May 2021 sale price of £307,500 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of 1 FIR COTTAGES has not materially changed since May 2021.
