LIONS COTTAGE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Lewes local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three LIONS COTTAGE sales between October 2000 and December 2016 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 July 2010 sale was for 46% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 46% above the HPI over time, until the December 2016 sale, where it rises to 56% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 56% above the HPI.

What might LIONS COTTAGE be worth now?

LIONS COTTAGE might now be worth an estimated £927,691.

This is based on house price inflation of 22.1%, between December 2016 and March 2025, for detached houses, in the Lewes local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 22.1% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for LIONS COTTAGE of £760,000 on 12th December 2016. For the value to have increased from £760,000 to £927,691 over the nine years and nine months to March 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of LIONS COTTAGE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Lewes local authority area.
• The December 2016 sale price of £760,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of LIONS COTTAGE has not materially changed since December 2016.
