FORGE COTTAGE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average semi-detached house price in the Rother local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The six FORGE COTTAGE sales between November 2001 and June 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 April 2016 sale was for 11% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 11% below the HPI over time, until the June 2023 sale, where it falls to 32% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 32% below the HPI.

What might FORGE COTTAGE be worth now?

FORGE COTTAGE might now be worth an estimated £252,493.

This is based on house price inflation of 1%, between June 2023 and February 2025, for semi-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 1% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for FORGE COTTAGE of £250,000 on 2nd June 2023. For the value to have increased from £250,000 to £252,493 over the two years and four months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of FORGE COTTAGE has moved in line with the HPI for semi-detached houses in the Rother local authority area.
• The June 2023 sale price of £250,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of FORGE COTTAGE has not materially changed since June 2023.
