HURST COTTAGE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Tandridge local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two HURST COTTAGE sales from February 1999 and April 2007 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 February 1999 sale was for 24% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 24% above the HPI over time, until the April 2007 sale, where it falls to 17% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 17% above the HPI.

What might HURST COTTAGE be worth now?

This is based on house price inflation of 75.4%, between April 2007 and December 2024, for detached houses, in the Tandridge local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 75.4% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for HURST COTTAGE of £595,000 on 5th April 2007. For the value to have increased from £595,000 to £1,043,854 over the sixteen years and four months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:
