THE OLD LIBRARY 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 two THE OLD LIBRARY sales from December 2008 and October 2017 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 December 2008 sale was for 19% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 19% below the HPI over time, until the October 2017 sale, where it falls to 20% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 20% below the HPI.

What might THE OLD LIBRARY be worth now?

THE OLD LIBRARY might now be worth an estimated £455,543.

This is based on house price inflation of 29%, between October 2017 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 29% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for THE OLD LIBRARY of £353,000 on 2nd October 2017. For the value to have increased from £353,000 to £455,543 over the eight years and eight months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of THE OLD LIBRARY has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Rother local authority area.
• The October 2017 sale price of £353,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of THE OLD LIBRARY has not materially changed since October 2017.
