HUNTSMANS COTTAGE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average semi-detached house price in the Canterbury local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two HUNTSMANS COTTAGE sales from January 2004 and December 2024 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 January 2004 sale was for 98% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 98% above the HPI over time, until the December 2024 sale, where it falls to 77% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 77% above the HPI.

What might HUNTSMANS COTTAGE be worth now?

HUNTSMANS COTTAGE might now be worth an estimated £612,100.

This is based on house price deflation of 1.6%, between December 2024 and June 2025, for semi-detached houses, in the Canterbury local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 1.6% deflationary decrease is applied to the most recent sale price for HUNTSMANS COTTAGE of £622,000 on 18th December 2024. For the value to have decreased from £622,000 to £612,100 over the one year and six months to June 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of HUNTSMANS COTTAGE has moved in line with the HPI for semi-detached houses in the Canterbury local authority area.
• The December 2024 sale price of £622,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
