BAGPITHS COTTAGE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average semi-detached house price in the Mid Sussex local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two BAGPITHS COTTAGE sales from August 2011 and February 2014 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 August 2011 sale was for 8% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 8% above the HPI over time, until the February 2014 sale, where it rises to 29% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 29% above the HPI.

What might BAGPITHS COTTAGE be worth now?

BAGPITHS COTTAGE might now be worth an estimated £594,273.

This is based on house price inflation of 60.6%, between February 2014 and February 2025, for semi-detached houses, in the Mid Sussex local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 60.6% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for BAGPITHS COTTAGE of £370,000 on 14th February 2014. For the value to have increased from £370,000 to £594,273 over the eleven years to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of BAGPITHS COTTAGE has moved in line with the HPI for semi-detached houses in the Mid Sussex local authority area.
• The February 2014 sale price of £370,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of BAGPITHS COTTAGE has not materially changed since February 2014.
