THATCH COTTAGE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Worthing local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two THATCH COTTAGE sales from September 2007 and January 2019 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 2007 sale was for 30% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 30% below the HPI over time, until the January 2019 sale, where it rises to 27% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 27% below the HPI.

What might THATCH COTTAGE be worth now?

THATCH COTTAGE might now be worth an estimated £442,491.

This is based on house price inflation of 18%, between January 2019 and December 2024, for detached houses, in the Worthing local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 18% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for THATCH COTTAGE of £375,000 on 25th January 2019. For the value to have increased from £375,000 to £442,491 over the four years and one month to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of THATCH COTTAGE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Worthing local authority area.
• The January 2019 sale price of £375,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of THATCH COTTAGE has not materially changed since January 2019.
