GROVE COTTAGE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Arun local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three GROVE COTTAGE sales between April 1999 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 October 2017 sale was for 13% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 13% below the HPI over time, until the January 2021 sale, where it falls to 21% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 21% below the HPI.

What might GROVE COTTAGE be worth now?

GROVE COTTAGE might now be worth an estimated £449,230.

This is based on house price inflation of 13.7%, between January 2021 and December 2024, for detached houses, in the Arun local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 13.7% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for GROVE COTTAGE of £395,000 on 15th January 2021. For the value to have increased from £395,000 to £449,230 over the two years and one month to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of GROVE COTTAGE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Arun local authority area.
• The January 2021 sale price of £395,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of GROVE COTTAGE has not materially changed since January 2021.
