HIGH BANK 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 two HIGH BANK COTTAGE sales from August 1996 and April 2016 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 August 1996 sale was for 60% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 60% above the HPI over time, until the April 2016 sale, where it falls to 55% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 55% above the HPI.

What might HIGH BANK COTTAGE be worth now?

HIGH BANK COTTAGE might now be worth an estimated £938,430.

This is based on house price inflation of 29.4%, between April 2016 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 29.4% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for HIGH BANK COTTAGE of £725,000 on 25th April 2016. For the value to have increased from £725,000 to £938,430 over the nine years and two months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of HIGH BANK COTTAGE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Wealden local authority area.
• The April 2016 sale price of £725,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of HIGH BANK COTTAGE has not materially changed since April 2016.
