PUMP COTTAGE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Wealden local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two PUMP COTTAGE sales from January 2020 and January 2023 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 January 2020 sale was for 52% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 52% below the HPI over time, until the January 2023 sale, where it falls to 55% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 55% below the HPI.

What might PUMP COTTAGE be worth now?

PUMP COTTAGE might now be worth an estimated £272,566.

This is based on house price deflation of 3.5%, between January 2023 and February 2025, for detached houses, in the Wealden local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 3.5% deflationary decrease is applied to the most recent sale price for PUMP COTTAGE of £282,500 on 9th January 2023. For the value to have decreased from £282,500 to £272,566 over the one year and eleven months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The January 2023 sale price of £282,500 represented a fair market value for the property.
