ACORN COTTAGE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Lewes local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two ACORN COTTAGE sales from April 2006 and September 2011 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 April 2006 sale was for 12% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 12% above the HPI over time, until the September 2011 sale, where it falls to 32% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 32% below the HPI.

What might ACORN COTTAGE be worth now?

ACORN COTTAGE might now be worth an estimated £398,694.

This is based on house price inflation of 59.5%, between September 2011 and February 2025, for 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 59.5% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for ACORN COTTAGE of £250,000 on 19th September 2011. For the value to have increased from £250,000 to £398,694 over the fourteen years and seven months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of ACORN COTTAGE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Lewes local authority area.
• The September 2011 sale price of £250,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of ACORN COTTAGE has not materially changed since September 2011.
