MAY COTTAGE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Chichester local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The five MAY COTTAGE sales between October 1996 and August 2013 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 September 2011 sale was for 6% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 6% above the HPI over time, until the August 2013 sale, where it rises to 10% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 10% above the HPI.

What might MAY COTTAGE be worth now?

MAY COTTAGE might now be worth an estimated £787,117.

This is based on house price inflation of 55.9%, between August 2013 and February 2025, for 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 55.9% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for MAY COTTAGE of £505,000 on 19th August 2013. For the value to have increased from £505,000 to £787,117 over the twelve years and six months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of MAY COTTAGE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Chichester local authority area.
• The August 2013 sale price of £505,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of MAY COTTAGE has not materially changed since August 2013.
