TILGATE COTTAGE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Lewes local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three TILGATE COTTAGE sales between June 1997 and February 2023 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 February 2021 sale was for 67% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 67% above the HPI over time, until the February 2023 sale, where it falls to 49% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 49% above the HPI.

What might TILGATE COTTAGE be worth now?

This is based on house price deflation of 10%, between February 2023 and February 2025, for detached houses, in the Lewes local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 10% deflationary decrease is applied to the most recent sale price for TILGATE COTTAGE of £962,890 on 24th February 2023. For the value to have decreased from £962,890 to £866,890 over the two years to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:
