MEAD COTTAGE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Mole Valley local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three MEAD COTTAGE sales between October 2004 and May 2023 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 July 2010 sale was for 27% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 27% above the HPI over time, until the May 2023 sale, where it falls to roughly the same level as the HPI. The line then continues to track in line with the HPI.

What might MEAD COTTAGE be worth now?

MEAD COTTAGE might now be worth an estimated £979,291.

This is based on house price inflation of 0.4%, between May 2023 and February 2025, for detached houses, in the Mole Valley local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 0.4% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for MEAD COTTAGE of £975,000 on 30th May 2023. For the value to have increased from £975,000 to £979,291 over the two years and three months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of MEAD COTTAGE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Mole Valley local authority area.
• The May 2023 sale price of £975,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of MEAD COTTAGE has not materially changed since May 2023.
