KENT COTTAGE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Ashford local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two KENT COTTAGE sales from November 1996 and September 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 1996 sale was for 22% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 22% below the HPI over time, until the September 2014 sale, where it rises to 16% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 16% below the HPI.

What might KENT COTTAGE be worth now?

KENT COTTAGE might now be worth an estimated £473,958.

This is based on house price inflation of 55.4%, between September 2014 and February 2025, for detached houses, in the Ashford local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 55.4% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for KENT COTTAGE of £305,000 on 11th September 2014. For the value to have increased from £305,000 to £473,958 over the eleven years and seven months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of KENT COTTAGE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Ashford local authority area.
• The September 2014 sale price of £305,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of KENT COTTAGE has not materially changed since September 2014.
