BACK LANE COTTAGE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Chichester local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three BACK LANE COTTAGE sales between December 1996 and November 2018 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 November 2014 sale was for 23% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 23% below the HPI over time, until the November 2018 sale, where it rises to 21% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 21% below the HPI.

What might BACK LANE COTTAGE be worth now?

BACK LANE COTTAGE might now be worth an estimated £558,356.

This is based on house price inflation of 11.7%, between November 2018 and December 2024, for detached houses, in the Chichester local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 11.7% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for BACK LANE COTTAGE of £500,000 on 15th November 2018. For the value to have increased from £500,000 to £558,356 over the five years and eleven months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of BACK LANE COTTAGE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Chichester local authority area.
• The November 2018 sale price of £500,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of BACK LANE COTTAGE has not materially changed since November 2018.
