LABURNHAM COTTAGE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Wealden local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The four LABURNHAM COTTAGE sales between October 1997 and January 2002 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 October 1998 sale was for 105% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 105% above the HPI over time, until the January 2002 sale, where it falls to 99% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 99% above the HPI.

What might LABURNHAM COTTAGE be worth now?

LABURNHAM COTTAGE might now be worth an estimated £1,221,100.

This is based on house price inflation of 171.4%, between January 2002 and December 2024, for detached houses, in the Wealden local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 171.4% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for LABURNHAM COTTAGE of £450,000 on 11th January 2002. For the value to have increased from £450,000 to £1,221,100 over the 21 years and one month to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of LABURNHAM COTTAGE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Wealden local authority area.
• The January 2002 sale price of £450,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of LABURNHAM COTTAGE has not materially changed since January 2002.
