HOPE 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 five HOPE COTTAGE sales between April 1995 and September 2009 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 2006 sale was for 23% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 23% below the HPI over time, until the September 2009 sale, where it falls to 24% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 24% below the HPI.

What might HOPE COTTAGE be worth now?

HOPE COTTAGE might now be worth an estimated £436,453.

This is based on house price inflation of 89.8%, between September 2009 and February 2025, 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 89.8% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for HOPE COTTAGE of £230,000 on 17th September 2009. For the value to have increased from £230,000 to £436,453 over the sixteen years and seven months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of HOPE COTTAGE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Arun local authority area.
• The September 2009 sale price of £230,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of HOPE COTTAGE has not materially changed since September 2009.
