POND COTTAGE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Ashford local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The four POND COTTAGE sales between January 1999 and January 2017 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 October 2006 sale was for 8% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 8% above the HPI over time, until the January 2017 sale, where it rises to 19% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 19% above the HPI.

What might POND COTTAGE be worth now?

POND COTTAGE might now be worth an estimated £669,293.

This is based on house price inflation of 28.7%, between January 2017 and February 2025, for detached houses, in the Ashford local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 28.7% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for POND COTTAGE of £520,000 on 13th January 2017. For the value to have increased from £520,000 to £669,293 over the seven years and eleven months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of POND COTTAGE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Ashford local authority area.
• The January 2017 sale price of £520,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of POND COTTAGE has not materially changed since January 2017.
