RECTORY 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 three RECTORY COTTAGE sales between March 2000 and November 2016 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 August 2005 sale was for 51% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 51% above the HPI over time, until the November 2016 sale, where it falls to 4% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 4% below the HPI.

What might RECTORY COTTAGE be worth now?

RECTORY COTTAGE might now be worth an estimated £708,727.

This is based on house price inflation of 24.3%, between November 2016 and December 2024, 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 24.3% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for RECTORY COTTAGE of £570,000 on 17th November 2016. For the value to have increased from £570,000 to £708,727 over the seven years and eleven months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of RECTORY COTTAGE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Mid Sussex local authority area.
• The November 2016 sale price of £570,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of RECTORY COTTAGE has not materially changed since November 2016.
