MELBURY COTTAGE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average semi-detached house price in the Mid Sussex local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two MELBURY COTTAGE sales from August 2005 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 August 2005 sale was for 4% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 4% above the HPI over time, until the December 2014 sale, where it falls to 2% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 2% above the HPI.

What might MELBURY COTTAGE be worth now?

MELBURY COTTAGE might now be worth an estimated £459,202.

This is based on house price inflation of 43.5%, between December 2014 and March 2025, for semi-detached houses, in the Mid Sussex local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 43.5% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for MELBURY COTTAGE of £320,000 on 19th December 2014. For the value to have increased from £320,000 to £459,202 over the eleven years and nine months to March 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The December 2014 sale price of £320,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
