SWEETHAWS LODGE 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 SWEETHAWS LODGE COTTAGE sales between April 1997 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 November 2015 sale was for 1% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 1% below the HPI over time, until the November 2020 sale, where it falls to 11% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 11% below the HPI.

What might SWEETHAWS LODGE COTTAGE be worth now?

This is based on house price inflation of 11.4%, between November 2020 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 11.4% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for SWEETHAWS LODGE COTTAGE of £485,000 on 13th November 2020. For the value to have increased from £485,000 to £540,341 over the five years and nine months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:
