WHEELWRIGHT 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 WHEELWRIGHT COTTAGE sales from December 1998 and January 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 December 1998 sale was for 30% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 30% above the HPI over time, until the January 2023 sale, where it falls to roughly the same level as the HPI. The line then continues to track in line with the HPI.

What might WHEELWRIGHT COTTAGE be worth now?

WHEELWRIGHT COTTAGE might now be worth an estimated £603,022.

This is based on house price deflation of 3.5%, between January 2023 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 3.5% deflationary decrease is applied to the most recent sale price for WHEELWRIGHT COTTAGE of £625,000 on 5th January 2023. For the value to have decreased from £625,000 to £603,022 over the one year and eleven months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of WHEELWRIGHT COTTAGE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Wealden local authority area.
• The January 2023 sale price of £625,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of WHEELWRIGHT COTTAGE has not materially changed since January 2023.
