OAK TREE COTTAGE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Wealden local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three OAK TREE COTTAGE sales between July 2001 and November 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 April 2014 sale was for 50% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 50% below the HPI over time, until the November 2023 sale, where it rises to 47% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 47% below the HPI.

What might OAK TREE COTTAGE be worth now?

OAK TREE COTTAGE might now be worth an estimated £323,265.

This is based on house price inflation of 2.6%, between November 2023 and December 2024, for detached houses, in the Wealden local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 2.6% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for OAK TREE COTTAGE of £315,000 on 14th November 2023. For the value to have increased from £315,000 to £323,265 over the eleven months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of OAK TREE COTTAGE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Wealden local authority area.
• The November 2023 sale price of £315,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of OAK TREE COTTAGE has not materially changed since November 2023.
