BOWER COTTAGE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Tandridge local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two BOWER COTTAGE sales from February 2021 and September 2023 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 February 2021 sale was for 13% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 13% below the HPI over time, until the September 2023 sale, where it rises to 2% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 2% above the HPI.

What might BOWER COTTAGE be worth now?

BOWER COTTAGE might now be worth an estimated £890,120.

This is based on house price deflation of 8.7%, between September 2023 and February 2025, for detached houses, in the Tandridge local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 8.7% deflationary decrease is applied to the most recent sale price for BOWER COTTAGE of £975,000 on 4th September 2023. For the value to have decreased from £975,000 to £890,120 over the two years and seven months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of BOWER COTTAGE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Tandridge local authority area.
• The September 2023 sale price of £975,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of BOWER COTTAGE has not materially changed since September 2023.
