SPARK COTTAGE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Rother local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two SPARK COTTAGE sales from January 2013 and November 2020 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 2013 sale was for 30% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 30% below the HPI over time, until the November 2020 sale, where it rises to 22% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 22% below the HPI.

What might SPARK COTTAGE be worth now?

SPARK COTTAGE might now be worth an estimated £441,377.

This is based on house price inflation of 14.6%, between November 2020 and December 2024, for detached houses, in the Rother local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 14.6% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for SPARK COTTAGE of £385,000 on 10th November 2020. For the value to have increased from £385,000 to £441,377 over the three years and eleven months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of SPARK COTTAGE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Rother local authority area.
• The November 2020 sale price of £385,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of SPARK COTTAGE has not materially changed since November 2020.
