MOAT COTTAGE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Ashford local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two MOAT COTTAGE sales from August 2000 and January 2022 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 2000 sale was for 89% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 89% above the HPI over time, until the January 2022 sale, where it falls to 47% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 47% above the HPI.

What might MOAT COTTAGE be worth now?

MOAT COTTAGE might now be worth an estimated £825,342.

This is based on house price inflation of 5.1%, between January 2022 and February 2025, for detached houses, in the Ashford local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 5.1% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for MOAT COTTAGE of £785,000 on 7th January 2022. For the value to have increased from £785,000 to £825,342 over the two years and eleven months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of MOAT COTTAGE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Ashford local authority area.
• The January 2022 sale price of £785,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of MOAT COTTAGE has not materially changed since January 2022.
