8 ORCHARD COTTAGES 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 three 8 ORCHARD COTTAGES sales between March 1995 and April 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 June 1997 sale was for 11% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 11% below the HPI over time, until the April 2015 sale, where it falls to 28% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 28% below the HPI.

What might 8 ORCHARD COTTAGES be worth now?

8 ORCHARD COTTAGES might now be worth an estimated £261,393.

This is based on house price inflation of 45.3%, between April 2015 and December 2024, 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 45.3% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 8 ORCHARD COTTAGES of £179,950 on 20th April 2015. For the value to have increased from £179,950 to £261,393 over the eight years and four months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 8 ORCHARD COTTAGES has moved in line with the HPI for semi-detached houses in the Arun local authority area.
• The April 2015 sale price of £179,950 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of 8 ORCHARD COTTAGES has not materially changed since April 2015.
