LAUREL 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 two LAUREL COTTAGE sales from December 2009 and October 2020 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 December 2009 sale was for 28% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 28% below the HPI over time, until the October 2020 sale, where it rises to 23% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 23% below the HPI.

What might LAUREL COTTAGE be worth now?

LAUREL COTTAGE might now be worth an estimated £466,082.

This is based on house price inflation of 12.3%, between October 2020 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 12.3% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for LAUREL COTTAGE of £415,000 on 22nd October 2020. For the value to have increased from £415,000 to £466,082 over the five years and four months to June 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of LAUREL COTTAGE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Wealden local authority area.
• The October 2020 sale price of £415,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of LAUREL COTTAGE has not materially changed since October 2020.
