BEACH COTTAGE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Canterbury local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two BEACH COTTAGE sales from March 1998 and September 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 March 1998 sale was for 81% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 81% above the HPI over time, until the September 2021 sale, where it rises to 209% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 209% above the HPI.

What might BEACH COTTAGE be worth now?

BEACH COTTAGE might now be worth an estimated £1,763,791.

This is based on house price inflation of 10.2%, between September 2021 and February 2025, for detached houses, in the Canterbury local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 10.2% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for BEACH COTTAGE of £1,600,000 on 30th September 2021. For the value to have increased from £1,600,000 to £1,763,791 over the four years and seven months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of BEACH COTTAGE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Canterbury local authority area.
• The September 2021 sale price of £1,600,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of BEACH COTTAGE has not materially changed since September 2021.
