LEIGHTON COTTAGE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Mid Sussex local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three LEIGHTON COTTAGE sales between May 2001 and February 2022 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 December 2013 sale was for 125% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 125% above the HPI over time, until the February 2022 sale, where it falls to 85% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 85% above the HPI.

What might LEIGHTON COTTAGE be worth now?

LEIGHTON COTTAGE might now be worth an estimated £1,383,489.

This is based on house price inflation of 6.4%, between February 2022 and February 2025, for detached houses, in the Mid Sussex local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 6.4% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for LEIGHTON COTTAGE of £1,300,000 on 21st February 2022. For the value to have increased from £1,300,000 to £1,383,489 over the three years to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of LEIGHTON COTTAGE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Mid Sussex local authority area.
• The February 2022 sale price of £1,300,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
