BRIGHTS COTTAGE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Rother local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two BRIGHTS COTTAGE sales from August 2007 and June 2012 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 2007 sale was for 35% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 35% above the HPI over time, until the June 2012 sale, where it falls to 26% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 26% above the HPI.

What might BRIGHTS COTTAGE be worth now?

BRIGHTS COTTAGE might now be worth an estimated £716,535.

This is based on house price inflation of 79.2%, between June 2012 and February 2025, for detached houses, in the Rother local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 79.2% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for BRIGHTS COTTAGE of £399,950 on 8th June 2012. For the value to have increased from £399,950 to £716,535 over the thirteen years and four months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of BRIGHTS COTTAGE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Rother local authority area.
• The June 2012 sale price of £399,950 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of BRIGHTS COTTAGE has not materially changed since June 2012.
