MAY TREE COTTAGE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Maldon local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three MAY TREE COTTAGE sales between January 2003 and December 2022 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 2019 sale was for 48% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 48% above the HPI over time, until the December 2022 sale, where it rises to 53% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 53% above the HPI.

What might MAY TREE COTTAGE be worth now?

MAY TREE COTTAGE might now be worth an estimated £847,984.

This is based on house price deflation of 4.2%, between December 2022 and February 2025, for detached houses, in the Maldon local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 4.2% deflationary decrease is applied to the most recent sale price for MAY TREE COTTAGE of £885,000 on 9th December 2022. For the value to have decreased from £885,000 to £847,984 over the three years and ten months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of MAY TREE COTTAGE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Maldon local authority area.
• The December 2022 sale price of £885,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
