WATTS MEAD COTTAGE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Reigate and Banstead local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two WATTS MEAD COTTAGE sales from March 2000 and March 2002 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 March 2000 sale was for 64% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 64% above the HPI over time, until the March 2002 sale, where it falls to 29% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 29% above the HPI.

What might WATTS MEAD COTTAGE be worth now?

WATTS MEAD COTTAGE might now be worth an estimated £1,155,495.

The 161.1% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for WATTS MEAD COTTAGE of £442,500 on 14th March 2002. For the value to have increased from £442,500 to £1,155,495 over the 23 years and one month to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:
