OAK COTTAGE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Dartford local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The four OAK COTTAGE sales between May 2002 and August 2023 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 September 2017 sale was for 8% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 8% below the HPI over time, until the August 2023 sale, where it rises to 6% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 6% below the HPI.

What might OAK COTTAGE be worth now?

OAK COTTAGE might now be worth an estimated £650,940.

This is based on house price deflation of 2.8%, between August 2023 and February 2025, for detached houses, in the Dartford local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 2.8% deflationary decrease is applied to the most recent sale price for OAK COTTAGE of £670,000 on 21st August 2023. For the value to have decreased from £670,000 to £650,940 over the two years and six months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of OAK COTTAGE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Dartford local authority area.
• The August 2023 sale price of £670,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of OAK COTTAGE has not materially changed since August 2023.
