SLOE 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 SLOE COTTAGE sales from June 1997 and June 2002 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 1997 sale was for 52% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 52% above the HPI over time, until the June 2002 sale, where it rises to 62% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 62% above the HPI.

What might SLOE COTTAGE be worth now?

SLOE COTTAGE might now be worth an estimated £977,333.

This is based on house price inflation of 153.9%, between June 2002 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 153.9% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for SLOE COTTAGE of £385,000 on 19th June 2002. For the value to have increased from £385,000 to £977,333 over the 23 years and four months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of SLOE COTTAGE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Wealden local authority area.
• The June 2002 sale price of £385,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of SLOE COTTAGE has not materially changed since June 2002.
