LILAC COTTAGE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Rother local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two LILAC COTTAGE sales from September 2015 and October 2020 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 September 2015 sale was for 38% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 38% below the HPI over time, until the October 2020 sale, where it rises to 26% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 26% below the HPI.

What might LILAC COTTAGE be worth now?

LILAC COTTAGE might now be worth an estimated £422,073.

This is based on house price inflation of 20.6%, between October 2020 and February 2025, for detached houses, in the Rother local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 20.6% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for LILAC COTTAGE of £350,000 on 30th October 2020. For the value to have increased from £350,000 to £422,073 over the five years and eight months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of LILAC COTTAGE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Rother local authority area.
• The October 2020 sale price of £350,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of LILAC COTTAGE has not materially changed since October 2020.
