FIR COTTAGE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Maldon local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two FIR COTTAGE sales from August 2009 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 August 2009 sale was for 117% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 117% above the HPI over time, until the November 2018 sale, where it falls to 65% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 65% above the HPI.

What might FIR COTTAGE be worth now?

FIR COTTAGE might now be worth an estimated £914,106.

This is based on house price inflation of 14.3%, between November 2018 and February 2025, for detached houses, in the Maldon local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 14.3% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for FIR COTTAGE of £799,995 on 30th November 2018. For the value to have increased from £799,995 to £914,106 over the seven years and nine months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of FIR COTTAGE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Maldon local authority area.
• The November 2018 sale price of £799,995 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of FIR COTTAGE has not materially changed since November 2018.
