PEAR TREE COTTAGE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Mid Sussex local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The four PEAR TREE COTTAGE sales between September 1996 and August 2013 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 November 2006 sale was for 3% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 3% below the HPI over time, until the August 2013 sale, where it rises to 2% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 2% below the HPI.

What might PEAR TREE COTTAGE be worth now?

PEAR TREE COTTAGE might now be worth an estimated £729,909.

This is based on house price inflation of 65.9%, between August 2013 and February 2025, for detached houses, in the Mid Sussex local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 65.9% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for PEAR TREE COTTAGE of £440,000 on 22nd August 2013. For the value to have increased from £440,000 to £729,909 over the twelve years and six months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of PEAR TREE COTTAGE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Mid Sussex local authority area.
• The August 2013 sale price of £440,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
