OWL COTTAGE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average semi-detached house price in the Rother local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The four OWL COTTAGE sales between March 1995 and February 2010 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 May 2004 sale was for 42% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 42% above the HPI over time, until the February 2010 sale, where it falls to 24% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 24% above the HPI.

What might OWL COTTAGE be worth now?

OWL COTTAGE might now be worth an estimated £464,339.

This is based on house price inflation of 85.7%, between February 2010 and February 2025, for semi-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 85.7% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for OWL COTTAGE of £250,000 on 1st February 2010. For the value to have increased from £250,000 to £464,339 over the fifteen years to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of OWL COTTAGE has moved in line with the HPI for semi-detached houses in the Rother local authority area.
• The February 2010 sale price of £250,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of OWL COTTAGE has not materially changed since February 2010.
