NORTH MEADOW COTTAGE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average semi-detached house price in the Arun local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two NORTH MEADOW COTTAGE sales from July 2005 and March 2020 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 2005 sale was for 28% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 28% above the HPI over time, until the March 2020 sale, where it rises to 65% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 65% above the HPI.

What might NORTH MEADOW COTTAGE be worth now?

NORTH MEADOW COTTAGE might now be worth an estimated £596,781.

This is based on house price inflation of 21.8%, between March 2020 and December 2024, for semi-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 21.8% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for NORTH MEADOW COTTAGE of £490,000 on 5th March 2020. For the value to have increased from £490,000 to £596,781 over the three years and three months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of NORTH MEADOW COTTAGE has moved in line with the HPI for semi-detached houses in the Arun local authority area.
• The March 2020 sale price of £490,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of NORTH MEADOW COTTAGE has not materially changed since March 2020.
