THE GATE COTTAGE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Hart local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three THE GATE COTTAGE sales between October 1996 and December 2003 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 August 2002 sale was for 79% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 79% above the HPI over time, until the December 2003 sale, where it falls to 58% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 58% above the HPI.

What might THE GATE COTTAGE be worth now?

THE GATE COTTAGE might now be worth an estimated £1,218,099.

This is based on house price inflation of 115.6%, between December 2003 and February 2025, for detached houses, in the Hart local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 115.6% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for THE GATE COTTAGE of £565,000 on 17th December 2003. For the value to have increased from £565,000 to £1,218,099 over the 22 years and ten months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of THE GATE COTTAGE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Hart local authority area.
• The December 2003 sale price of £565,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of THE GATE COTTAGE has not materially changed since December 2003.
