WALNUT COTTAGE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average semi-detached house price in the Mid Sussex local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two WALNUT COTTAGE sales from February 2003 and November 2004 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 2003 sale was for 48% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 48% below the HPI over time, until the November 2004 sale, where it rises to 131% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 131% above the HPI.

What might WALNUT COTTAGE be worth now?

WALNUT COTTAGE might now be worth an estimated £1,063,413.

This is based on house price inflation of 102.6%, between November 2004 and February 2025, for semi-detached houses, in the Mid Sussex local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 102.6% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for WALNUT COTTAGE of £525,000 on 30th November 2004. For the value to have increased from £525,000 to £1,063,413 over the 21 years and nine months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of WALNUT COTTAGE has moved in line with the HPI for semi-detached houses in the Mid Sussex local authority area.
• The November 2004 sale price of £525,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of WALNUT COTTAGE has not materially changed since November 2004.
