MERRY COTTAGE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Arun local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three MERRY COTTAGE sales between July 1996 and April 2013 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 1998 sale was for 71% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 71% above the HPI over time, until the April 2013 sale, where it rises to 120% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 120% above the HPI.

What might MERRY COTTAGE be worth now?

MERRY COTTAGE might now be worth an estimated £1,261,700.

This is based on house price inflation of 70.5%, between April 2013 and February 2025, for detached houses, in the Arun local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 70.5% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for MERRY COTTAGE of £740,000 on 26th April 2013. For the value to have increased from £740,000 to £1,261,700 over the twelve years and two months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of MERRY COTTAGE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Arun local authority area.
• The April 2013 sale price of £740,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of MERRY COTTAGE has not materially changed since April 2013.
