ASH COTTAGE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Mid Sussex local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three ASH COTTAGE sales between June 2000 and June 2013 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 October 2001 sale was for 20% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 20% below the HPI over time, until the June 2013 sale, where it falls to 31% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 31% below the HPI.

What might ASH COTTAGE be worth now?

ASH COTTAGE might now be worth an estimated £503,280.

This is based on house price inflation of 65%, between June 2013 and March 2025, for 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 65% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for ASH COTTAGE of £305,000 on 6th June 2013. For the value to have increased from £305,000 to £503,280 over the twelve years and three months to March 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of ASH COTTAGE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Mid Sussex local authority area.
• The June 2013 sale price of £305,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of ASH COTTAGE has not materially changed since June 2013.
