THE OLD COTTAGE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Chichester local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two THE OLD COTTAGE sales from May 1995 and October 2012 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 May 1995 sale was for 20% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 20% above the HPI over time, until the October 2012 sale, where it falls to 18% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 18% above the HPI.

What might THE OLD COTTAGE be worth now?

THE OLD COTTAGE might now be worth an estimated £844,167.

This is based on house price inflation of 52.1%, between October 2012 and February 2025, for detached houses, in the Chichester local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 52.1% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for THE OLD COTTAGE of £555,000 on 11th October 2012. For the value to have increased from £555,000 to £844,167 over the thirteen years and eight months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of THE OLD COTTAGE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Chichester local authority area.
• The October 2012 sale price of £555,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of THE OLD COTTAGE has not materially changed since October 2012.
