COB COTTAGE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Wealden local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The six COB COTTAGE sales between February 1995 and March 2021 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 September 2016 sale was for 26% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 26% below the HPI over time, until the March 2021 sale, where it rises to 22% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 22% below the HPI.

What might COB COTTAGE be worth now?

COB COTTAGE might now be worth an estimated £477,981.

This is based on house price inflation of 13.8%, between March 2021 and December 2024, for detached houses, in the Wealden local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 13.8% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for COB COTTAGE of £420,000 on 16th March 2021. For the value to have increased from £420,000 to £477,981 over the two years and three months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of COB COTTAGE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Wealden local authority area.
• The March 2021 sale price of £420,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of COB COTTAGE has not materially changed since March 2021.
