SELBY COTTAGE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Eastbourne local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three SELBY COTTAGE sales between January 2005 and February 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 June 2006 sale was for 23% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 23% below the HPI over time, until the February 2017 sale, where it falls to 25% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 25% below the HPI.

What might SELBY COTTAGE be worth now?

SELBY COTTAGE might now be worth an estimated £387,925.

This is based on house price inflation of 25.2%, between February 2017 and December 2024, for detached houses, in the Eastbourne local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 25.2% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for SELBY COTTAGE of £309,950 on 10th February 2017. For the value to have increased from £309,950 to £387,925 over the six years and two months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of SELBY COTTAGE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Eastbourne local authority area.
• The February 2017 sale price of £309,950 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of SELBY COTTAGE has not materially changed since February 2017.
