ALMA COTTAGE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Brighton and Hove local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The four ALMA COTTAGE sales between December 1996 and October 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 December 2014 sale was for 17% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 17% below the HPI over time, until the October 2021 sale, where it falls to 20% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 20% below the HPI.

What might ALMA COTTAGE be worth now?

ALMA COTTAGE might now be worth an estimated £691,548.

This is based on house price inflation of 5.6%, between October 2021 and February 2025, for detached houses, in the Brighton and Hove local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 5.6% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for ALMA COTTAGE of £655,000 on 28th October 2021. For the value to have increased from £655,000 to £691,548 over the four years and eight months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of ALMA COTTAGE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Brighton and Hove local authority area.
• The October 2021 sale price of £655,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of ALMA COTTAGE has not materially changed since October 2021.
