WILLOW DOWN COTTAGE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Lewes local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two WILLOW DOWN COTTAGE sales from September 1996 and July 2001 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 1996 sale was for 47% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 47% above the HPI over time, until the July 2001 sale, where it falls to 18% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 18% above the HPI.

What might WILLOW DOWN COTTAGE be worth now?

This is based on house price inflation of 176.1%, between July 2001 and February 2025, for detached houses, in the Lewes local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 176.1% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for WILLOW DOWN COTTAGE of £250,000 on 6th July 2001. For the value to have increased from £250,000 to £690,176 over the 24 years and five months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:
