PITFIELD 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 two PITFIELD COTTAGE sales from February 1996 and July 2011 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 February 1996 sale was for 96% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 96% above the HPI over time, until the July 2011 sale, where it rises to 98% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 98% above the HPI.

What might PITFIELD COTTAGE be worth now?

PITFIELD COTTAGE might now be worth an estimated £1,483,693.

This is based on house price inflation of 78.8%, between July 2011 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 78.8% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for PITFIELD COTTAGE of £830,000 on 21st July 2011. For the value to have increased from £830,000 to £1,483,693 over the fourteen years and five months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of PITFIELD COTTAGE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Mid Sussex local authority area.
• The July 2011 sale price of £830,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of PITFIELD COTTAGE has not materially changed since July 2011.
