FIR TREE COTTAGE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Horsham local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two FIR TREE COTTAGE sales from April 2003 and January 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 April 2003 sale was for 18% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 18% below the HPI over time, until the January 2021 sale, where it rises to 4% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 4% below the HPI.

What might FIR TREE COTTAGE be worth now?

FIR TREE COTTAGE might now be worth an estimated £708,320.

This is based on house price inflation of 11.5%, between January 2021 and December 2024, for detached houses, in the Horsham local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 11.5% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for FIR TREE COTTAGE of £635,000 on 15th January 2021. For the value to have increased from £635,000 to £708,320 over the two years and one month to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of FIR TREE COTTAGE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Horsham local authority area.
• The January 2021 sale price of £635,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of FIR TREE COTTAGE has not materially changed since January 2021.
