LYCH COTTAGE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Woking local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two LYCH COTTAGE sales from June 2016 and August 2019 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 June 2016 sale was for 28% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 28% above the HPI over time, until the August 2019 sale, where it rises to 42% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 42% above the HPI.

What might LYCH COTTAGE be worth now?

LYCH COTTAGE might now be worth an estimated £1,315,303.

This is based on house price inflation of 10.8%, between August 2019 and December 2024, for detached houses, in the Woking local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 10.8% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for LYCH COTTAGE of £1,187,500 on 19th August 2019. For the value to have increased from £1,187,500 to £1,315,303 over the four years and eight months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of LYCH COTTAGE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Woking local authority area.
• The August 2019 sale price of £1,187,500 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of LYCH COTTAGE has not materially changed since August 2019.
