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 three LITTLE COTTAGE sales between February 1997 and October 2015 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 November 1998 sale was for 5% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 5% below the HPI over time, until the October 2015 sale, where it falls to 25% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 25% below the HPI.

What might LITTLE COTTAGE be worth now?

LITTLE COTTAGE might now be worth an estimated £429,129.

This is based on house price inflation of 48%, between October 2015 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 48% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for LITTLE COTTAGE of £290,000 on 13th October 2015. For the value to have increased from £290,000 to £429,129 over the ten years and eight 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 October 2015 sale price of £290,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of LITTLE COTTAGE has not materially changed since October 2015.
