LOOKOUT 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 LOOKOUT COTTAGE sales between April 2001 and October 2023 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 May 2012 sale was for 37% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 37% above the HPI over time, until the October 2023 sale, where it rises to 52% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 52% above the HPI.

What might LOOKOUT COTTAGE be worth now?

LOOKOUT COTTAGE might now be worth an estimated £866,650.

This is based on house price deflation of 1%, between October 2023 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 1% deflationary decrease is applied to the most recent sale price for LOOKOUT COTTAGE of £875,000 on 12th October 2023. For the value to have decreased from £875,000 to £866,650 over the two years and eight months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of LOOKOUT COTTAGE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Rother local authority area.
• The October 2023 sale price of £875,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of LOOKOUT COTTAGE has not materially changed since October 2023.
