WILDGOOSE COTTAGE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Rother local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two WILDGOOSE COTTAGE sales from November 2004 and November 2018 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 November 2004 sale was for 13% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 13% below the HPI over time, until the November 2018 sale, where it rises to 6% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 6% below the HPI.

What might WILDGOOSE COTTAGE be worth now?

WILDGOOSE COTTAGE might now be worth an estimated £531,332.

This is based on house price inflation of 23.6%, between November 2018 and December 2024, for detached houses, in the Rother local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 23.6% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for WILDGOOSE COTTAGE of £430,000 on 23rd November 2018. For the value to have increased from £430,000 to £531,332 over the five years and eleven months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of WILDGOOSE COTTAGE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Rother local authority area.
• The November 2018 sale price of £430,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of WILDGOOSE COTTAGE has not materially changed since November 2018.
