THE COTTAGE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Mid Sussex local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two THE COTTAGE sales from April 2000 and August 2011 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 April 2000 sale was for 54% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 54% above the HPI over time, until the August 2011 sale, where it rises to 134% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 134% above the HPI.

What might THE COTTAGE be worth now?

THE COTTAGE might now be worth an estimated £1,746,686.

This is based on house price inflation of 74.7%, between August 2011 and February 2025, for detached houses, in the Mid Sussex local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 74.7% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for THE COTTAGE of £1,000,000 on 5th August 2011. For the value to have increased from £1,000,000 to £1,746,686 over the fourteen years and six months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of THE COTTAGE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Mid Sussex local authority area.
• The August 2011 sale price of £1,000,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of THE COTTAGE has not materially changed since August 2011.
