LITTLE 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 LITTLE COTTAGE sales from October 2002 and January 2005 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 2002 sale was for 45% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 45% below the HPI over time, until the January 2005 sale, where it rises to 43% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 43% below the HPI.

What might LITTLE COTTAGE be worth now?

LITTLE COTTAGE might now be worth an estimated £326,928.

This is based on house price inflation of 104.3%, between January 2005 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 104.3% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for LITTLE COTTAGE of £160,000 on 7th January 2005. For the value to have increased from £160,000 to £326,928 over the nineteen years and eleven months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of LITTLE COTTAGE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Rother local authority area.
• The January 2005 sale price of £160,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of LITTLE COTTAGE has not materially changed since January 2005.
