MARHILL COTTAGE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Croydon local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three MARHILL COTTAGE sales between June 2002 and December 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 February 2012 sale was for 4% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 4% below the HPI over time, until the December 2023 sale, where it rises to 1% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 1% below the HPI.

What might MARHILL COTTAGE be worth now?

MARHILL COTTAGE might now be worth an estimated £849,222.

This is based on house price inflation of 1.1%, between December 2023 and February 2025, for detached houses, in the Croydon local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 1.1% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for MARHILL COTTAGE of £840,000 on 18th December 2023. For the value to have increased from £840,000 to £849,222 over the two years and ten months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of MARHILL COTTAGE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Croydon local authority area.
• The December 2023 sale price of £840,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of MARHILL COTTAGE has not materially changed since December 2023.
