HILLTOP Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Rother local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two HILLTOP sales from November 1998 and July 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 1998 sale was for 50% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 50% below the HPI over time, until the July 2014 sale, where it falls to 58% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 58% below the HPI.

What might HILLTOP be worth now?

HILLTOP might now be worth an estimated £237,822.

This is based on house price inflation of 64%, between July 2014 and February 2025, for detached houses, in the Rother local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 64% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for HILLTOP of £145,000 on 25th July 2014. For the value to have increased from £145,000 to £237,822 over the eleven years and five months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of HILLTOP has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Rother local authority area.
• The July 2014 sale price of £145,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of HILLTOP has not materially changed since July 2014.
