CLIFF COTTAGE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average semi-detached house price in the Canterbury local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three CLIFF COTTAGE sales between December 1997 and February 2014 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 November 2003 sale was for 106% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 106% above the HPI over time, until the February 2014 sale, where it falls to 74% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 74% above the HPI.

What might CLIFF COTTAGE be worth now?

CLIFF COTTAGE might now be worth an estimated £643,492.

This is based on house price inflation of 65.2%, between February 2014 and February 2025, for semi-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 65.2% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for CLIFF COTTAGE of £389,500 on 28th February 2014. For the value to have increased from £389,500 to £643,492 over the eleven years to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of CLIFF COTTAGE has moved in line with the HPI for semi-detached houses in the Canterbury local authority area.
• The February 2014 sale price of £389,500 represented a fair market value for the property.
