BLUEBELL 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 two BLUEBELL COTTAGE sales from July 2000 and September 2019 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 July 2000 sale was for 43% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 43% below the HPI over time, until the September 2019 sale, where it rises to 3% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 3% below the HPI.

What might BLUEBELL COTTAGE be worth now?

BLUEBELL COTTAGE might now be worth an estimated £688,702.

This is based on house price inflation of 15.7%, between September 2019 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 15.7% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for BLUEBELL COTTAGE of £595,000 on 26th September 2019. For the value to have increased from £595,000 to £688,702 over the four years and nine months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of BLUEBELL COTTAGE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Chichester local authority area.
• The September 2019 sale price of £595,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of BLUEBELL COTTAGE has not materially changed since September 2019.
