MARIA COTTAGE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average semi-detached house price in the Thanet local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two MARIA COTTAGE sales from October 2000 and December 2009 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 2000 sale was for 76% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 76% above the HPI over time, until the December 2009 sale, where it falls to 20% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 20% below the HPI.

What might MARIA COTTAGE be worth now?

MARIA COTTAGE might now be worth an estimated £265,442.

This is based on house price inflation of 104.2%, between December 2009 and February 2025, for semi-detached houses, in the Thanet local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 104.2% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for MARIA COTTAGE of £130,000 on 21st December 2009. For the value to have increased from £130,000 to £265,442 over the sixteen years and ten months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of MARIA COTTAGE has moved in line with the HPI for semi-detached houses in the Thanet local authority area.
• The December 2009 sale price of £130,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of MARIA COTTAGE has not materially changed since December 2009.
