THE DEN Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Rother local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The four THE DEN sales between May 1997 and October 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 October 2005 sale was for 28% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 28% above the HPI over time, until the October 2020 sale, where it rises to 38% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 38% above the HPI.

What might THE DEN be worth now?

THE DEN might now be worth an estimated £786,865.

This is based on house price inflation of 20.6%, between October 2020 and February 2025, for detached houses, in the Rother local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 20.6% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for THE DEN of £652,500 on 15th October 2020. For the value to have increased from £652,500 to £786,865 over the five years and eight months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of THE DEN has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Rother local authority area.
• The October 2020 sale price of £652,500 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of THE DEN has not materially changed since October 2020.
