MARINE COTTAGE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average semi-detached house price in the Chichester local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two MARINE COTTAGE sales from March 1996 and October 1996 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 March 1996 sale was for 16% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 16% below the HPI over time, until the October 1996 sale, where it rises to 12% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 12% above the HPI.

What might MARINE COTTAGE be worth now?

MARINE COTTAGE might now be worth an estimated £498,596.

This is based on house price inflation of 454%, between October 1996 and February 2025, for semi-detached houses, in the Chichester local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 454% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for MARINE COTTAGE of £90,000 on 30th October 1996. For the value to have increased from £90,000 to £498,596 over the 29 years and eight months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of MARINE COTTAGE has moved in line with the HPI for semi-detached houses in the Chichester local authority area.
• The October 1996 sale price of £90,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of MARINE COTTAGE has not materially changed since October 1996.
