HILARY COTTAGE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average semi-detached house price in the Gravesham local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two HILARY COTTAGE sales from July 2007 and December 2013 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 July 2007 sale was for 70% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 70% above the HPI over time, until the December 2013 sale, where it falls to 38% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 38% above the HPI.

What might HILARY COTTAGE be worth now?

HILARY COTTAGE might now be worth an estimated £558,416.

This is based on house price inflation of 86.1%, between December 2013 and February 2025, for semi-detached houses, in the Gravesham local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 86.1% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for HILARY COTTAGE of £300,000 on 2nd December 2013. For the value to have increased from £300,000 to £558,416 over the twelve years and ten months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of HILARY COTTAGE has moved in line with the HPI for semi-detached houses in the Gravesham local authority area.
• The December 2013 sale price of £300,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of HILARY COTTAGE has not materially changed since December 2013.
