HOME COTTAGE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Wealden local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The four HOME COTTAGE sales between October 1997 and January 2015 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 March 2009 sale was for 41% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 41% below the HPI over time, until the January 2015 sale, which was also at 41% below the HPI.

What might HOME COTTAGE be worth now?

HOME COTTAGE might now be worth an estimated £359,372.

This is based on house price inflation of 45.2%, between January 2015 and June 2025, for detached houses, in the Wealden local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 45.2% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for HOME COTTAGE of £247,500 on 23rd January 2015. For the value to have increased from £247,500 to £359,372 over the nine years and seven months to June 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of HOME COTTAGE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Wealden local authority area.
• The January 2015 sale price of £247,500 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of HOME COTTAGE has not materially changed since January 2015.
