GANNET COTTAGE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Lewes local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The five GANNET COTTAGE sales between January 1998 and March 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 April 2006 sale was for 40% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 40% below the HPI over time, until the March 2022 sale, where it falls to 53% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 53% below the HPI.

What might GANNET COTTAGE be worth now?

GANNET COTTAGE might now be worth an estimated £276,780.

This is based on house price deflation of 4.6%, between March 2022 and February 2025, for detached houses, in the Lewes local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 4.6% deflationary decrease is applied to the most recent sale price for GANNET COTTAGE of £290,000 on 18th March 2022. For the value to have decreased from £290,000 to £276,780 over the three years and one month to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of GANNET COTTAGE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Lewes local authority area.
• The March 2022 sale price of £290,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of GANNET COTTAGE has not materially changed since March 2022.
