FOUR SEASONS COTTAGE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Ashford local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three FOUR SEASONS COTTAGE sales between July 1999 and April 2022 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 2005 sale was for 12% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 12% below the HPI over time, until the April 2022 sale, where it rises to 3% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 3% below the HPI.

What might FOUR SEASONS COTTAGE be worth now?

FOUR SEASONS COTTAGE might now be worth an estimated £534,592.

This is based on house price inflation of 1.8%, between April 2022 and December 2024, for detached houses, in the Ashford local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 1.8% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for FOUR SEASONS COTTAGE of £525,000 on 21st April 2022. For the value to have increased from £525,000 to £534,592 over the one year and four months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of FOUR SEASONS COTTAGE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Ashford local authority area.
• The April 2022 sale price of £525,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of FOUR SEASONS COTTAGE has not materially changed since April 2022.
