STAR LANE 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 three STAR LANE COTTAGE sales between September 1999 and May 2015 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 March 2001 sale was for 11% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 11% above the HPI over time, until the May 2015 sale, where it rises to 13% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 13% above the HPI.

What might STAR LANE COTTAGE be worth now?

STAR LANE COTTAGE might now be worth an estimated £686,254.

This is based on house price inflation of 44.5%, between May 2015 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 44.5% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for STAR LANE COTTAGE of £475,000 on 27th May 2015. For the value to have increased from £475,000 to £686,254 over the ten years and three months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of STAR LANE COTTAGE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Wealden local authority area.
• The May 2015 sale price of £475,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
