CHINA 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 CHINA COTTAGE sales from August 2006 and June 2016 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 2006 sale was for 49% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 49% above the HPI over time, until the June 2016 sale, where it falls to 15% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 15% above the HPI.

What might CHINA COTTAGE be worth now?

CHINA COTTAGE might now be worth an estimated £658,149.

This is based on house price inflation of 37.1%, between June 2016 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 37.1% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for CHINA COTTAGE of £480,000 on 9th June 2016. For the value to have increased from £480,000 to £658,149 over the nine years and four months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of CHINA COTTAGE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Canterbury local authority area.
• The June 2016 sale price of £480,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of CHINA COTTAGE has not materially changed since June 2016.
