Land registry data shows three sales for MERE COTTAGE since 1st January 1995. The below table shows the price paid for the three sales, along with the average detached price in the Horsham local authority area for the corresponding sale date. One of the three MERE COTTAGE sales was for below the average price, whilst two were for above the average price. The average price is sourced from the Office for National Statistics' House Price Index (HPI).
Date | Price | HPI Price | Variation from HPI |
---|---|---|---|

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Horsham local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three MERE COTTAGE sales between April 1999 and August 2009 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 June 2000 sale was for 20% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 20% above the HPI over time, until the August 2009 sale, where it falls to 5% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 5% below the HPI.
