MAYFIELD COTTAGE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Wealden local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two MAYFIELD COTTAGE sales from September 2004 and December 2014 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 2004 sale was for 160% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 160% above the HPI over time, until the December 2014 sale, where it falls to 139% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 139% above the HPI.

What might MAYFIELD COTTAGE be worth now?

MAYFIELD COTTAGE might now be worth an estimated £1,444,391.

This is based on house price inflation of 45.2%, between December 2014 and February 2025, for detached houses, in the Wealden local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 45.2% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for MAYFIELD COTTAGE of £995,000 on 3rd December 2014. For the value to have increased from £995,000 to £1,444,391 over the eleven years and ten months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of MAYFIELD COTTAGE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Wealden local authority area.
• The December 2014 sale price of £995,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
