VICARAGE COTTAGE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Wealden local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two VICARAGE COTTAGE sales from September 1998 and May 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 September 1998 sale was for 17% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 17% below the HPI over time, until the May 2012 sale, where it rises to 31% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 31% above the HPI.

What might VICARAGE COTTAGE be worth now?

VICARAGE COTTAGE might now be worth an estimated £793,499.

This is based on house price inflation of 70.6%, between May 2012 and February 2025, for detached houses, in the Wealden local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 70.6% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for VICARAGE COTTAGE of £465,000 on 9th May 2012. For the value to have increased from £465,000 to £793,499 over the thirteen years and three months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of VICARAGE COTTAGE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Wealden local authority area.
• The May 2012 sale price of £465,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of VICARAGE COTTAGE has not materially changed since May 2012.
