HAWTHORN COTTAGE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Wealden local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three HAWTHORN COTTAGE sales between April 2005 and September 2014 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 November 2005 sale was for 28% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 28% below the HPI over time, until the September 2014 sale, where it falls to 41% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 41% below the HPI.

What might HAWTHORN COTTAGE be worth now?

HAWTHORN COTTAGE might now be worth an estimated £356,846.

This is based on house price inflation of 45.7%, between September 2014 and February 2025, for detached houses, in the Wealden local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 45.7% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for HAWTHORN COTTAGE of £245,000 on 10th September 2014. For the value to have increased from £245,000 to £356,846 over the eleven years and seven months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of HAWTHORN COTTAGE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Wealden local authority area.
• The September 2014 sale price of £245,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
