CLENT 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 three CLENT COTTAGE sales between October 2005 and March 2011 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 2007 sale was for 35% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 35% above the HPI over time, until the March 2011 sale, where it falls to 24% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 24% above the HPI.

What might CLENT COTTAGE be worth now?

CLENT COTTAGE might now be worth an estimated £881,084.

This is based on house price inflation of 60.2%, between March 2011 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 60.2% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for CLENT COTTAGE of £550,000 on 18th March 2011. For the value to have increased from £550,000 to £881,084 over the twelve years and three months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of CLENT COTTAGE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Chichester local authority area.
• The March 2011 sale price of £550,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of CLENT COTTAGE has not materially changed since March 2011.
