OLD COTTAGE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Arun local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two OLD COTTAGE sales from July 1997 and June 2004 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 1997 sale was for 56% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 56% below the HPI over time, until the June 2004 sale, where it rises to 41% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 41% below the HPI.

What might OLD COTTAGE be worth now?

OLD COTTAGE might now be worth an estimated £339,244.

This is based on house price inflation of 99.6%, between June 2004 and February 2025, for 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 99.6% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for OLD COTTAGE of £170,000 on 11th June 2004. For the value to have increased from £170,000 to £339,244 over the 21 years and four months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of OLD COTTAGE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Arun local authority area.
• The June 2004 sale price of £170,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of OLD COTTAGE has not materially changed since June 2004.
