DOVE COTTAGE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Mid Sussex local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two DOVE COTTAGE sales from February 2008 and February 2018 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 2008 sale was for 60% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 60% above the HPI over time, until the February 2018 sale, where it falls to 14% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 14% above the HPI.

What might DOVE COTTAGE be worth now?

DOVE COTTAGE might now be worth an estimated £851,849.

This is based on house price inflation of 21.7%, between February 2018 and February 2025, for detached houses, in the Mid Sussex local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 21.7% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for DOVE COTTAGE of £700,000 on 2nd February 2018. For the value to have increased from £700,000 to £851,849 over the seven years to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of DOVE COTTAGE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Mid Sussex local authority area.
• The February 2018 sale price of £700,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of DOVE COTTAGE has not materially changed since February 2018.
