PEAR TREE COTTAGE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average semi-detached house price in the Wealden local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The four PEAR TREE COTTAGE sales between October 1999 and December 2016 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 June 2015 sale was for 16% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 16% above the HPI over time, until the December 2016 sale, where it rises to 34% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 34% above the HPI.

What might PEAR TREE COTTAGE be worth now?

PEAR TREE COTTAGE might now be worth an estimated £480,714.

This is based on house price inflation of 28.2%, between December 2016 and February 2025, for semi-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 28.2% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for PEAR TREE COTTAGE of £375,000 on 8th December 2016. For the value to have increased from £375,000 to £480,714 over the nine years and ten months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of PEAR TREE COTTAGE has moved in line with the HPI for semi-detached houses in the Wealden local authority area.
• The December 2016 sale price of £375,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of PEAR TREE COTTAGE has not materially changed since December 2016.
