GARDEN 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 five GARDEN COTTAGE sales between January 1995 and September 2023 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 2020 sale was for 96% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 96% above the HPI over time, until the September 2023 sale, where it rises to 168% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 168% above the HPI.

What might GARDEN COTTAGE be worth now?

GARDEN COTTAGE might now be worth an estimated £1,482,206.

This is based on house price deflation of 1.2%, between September 2023 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 1.2% deflationary decrease is applied to the most recent sale price for GARDEN COTTAGE of £1,500,000 on 5th September 2023. For the value to have decreased from £1,500,000 to £1,482,206 over the nine months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of GARDEN COTTAGE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Ashford local authority area.
• The September 2023 sale price of £1,500,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of GARDEN COTTAGE has not materially changed since September 2023.
