THE LAURELS 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 three THE LAURELS sales between July 2009 and September 2021 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 2013 sale was for 14% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 14% below the HPI over time, until the September 2021 sale, where it rises to 11% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 11% below the HPI.

What might THE LAURELS be worth now?

THE LAURELS might now be worth an estimated £500,592.

This is based on house price inflation of 7.7%, between September 2021 and December 2024, 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 7.7% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for THE LAURELS of £465,000 on 1st September 2021. For the value to have increased from £465,000 to £500,592 over the two years and nine months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of THE LAURELS has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Rother local authority area.
• The September 2021 sale price of £465,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of THE LAURELS has not materially changed since September 2021.
