SWIFT COTTAGE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Mole Valley local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three SWIFT COTTAGE sales between May 2006 and October 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 November 2007 sale was for 9% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 9% below the HPI over time, until the October 2015 sale, where it falls to 13% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 13% below the HPI.

What might SWIFT COTTAGE be worth now?

SWIFT COTTAGE might now be worth an estimated £835,738.

This is based on house price inflation of 20.3%, between October 2015 and December 2024, for detached houses, in the Mole Valley local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 20.3% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for SWIFT COTTAGE of £695,000 on 1st October 2015. For the value to have increased from £695,000 to £835,738 over the eight years and ten months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of SWIFT COTTAGE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Mole Valley local authority area.
• The October 2015 sale price of £695,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of SWIFT COTTAGE has not materially changed since October 2015.
