OAK TREE COTTAGE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Rother local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two OAK TREE COTTAGE sales from July 2015 and September 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 July 2015 sale was for 30% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 30% above the HPI over time, until the September 2022 sale, where it rises to 79% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 79% above the HPI.

What might OAK TREE COTTAGE be worth now?

OAK TREE COTTAGE might now be worth an estimated £1,012,791.

This is based on house price deflation of 6.2%, between September 2022 and December 2024, for detached houses, in the Rother local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 6.2% deflationary decrease is applied to the most recent sale price for OAK TREE COTTAGE of £1,080,000 on 23rd September 2022. For the value to have decreased from £1,080,000 to £1,012,791 over the one year and nine 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 Rother local authority area.
• The September 2022 sale price of £1,080,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
