SORRELL 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 two SORRELL COTTAGE sales from September 1998 and September 2022 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 September 1998 sale was for 63% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 63% below the HPI over time, until the September 2022 sale, where it rises to 62% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 62% below the HPI.

What might SORRELL COTTAGE be worth now?

SORRELL COTTAGE might now be worth an estimated £286,291.

This is based on house price inflation of 2.2%, between September 2022 and February 2025, 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 2.2% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for SORRELL COTTAGE of £280,000 on 23rd September 2022. For the value to have increased from £280,000 to £286,291 over the three years and seven months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of SORRELL COTTAGE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Mid Sussex local authority area.
• The September 2022 sale price of £280,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of SORRELL COTTAGE has not materially changed since September 2022.
