ORCHARD COTTAGE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Chichester local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three ORCHARD COTTAGE sales between November 2000 and December 2018 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 2015 sale was for 44% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 44% above the HPI over time, until the December 2018 sale, where it falls to 21% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 21% above the HPI.

What might ORCHARD COTTAGE be worth now?

ORCHARD COTTAGE might now be worth an estimated £867,893.

This is based on house price inflation of 15.7%, between December 2018 and February 2025, for detached houses, in the Chichester local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 15.7% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for ORCHARD COTTAGE of £750,000 on 17th December 2018. For the value to have increased from £750,000 to £867,893 over the seven years and ten months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of ORCHARD COTTAGE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Chichester local authority area.
• The December 2018 sale price of £750,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of ORCHARD COTTAGE has not materially changed since December 2018.
