ROSE COTTAGE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Canterbury local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three ROSE COTTAGE sales between March 1995 and February 2004 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 May 1997 sale was for 11% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 11% below the HPI over time, until the February 2004 sale, where it rises to 9% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 9% below the HPI.

What might ROSE COTTAGE be worth now?

ROSE COTTAGE might now be worth an estimated £517,910.

This is based on house price inflation of 117.6%, between February 2004 and February 2025, for 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 117.6% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for ROSE COTTAGE of £238,000 on 20th February 2004. For the value to have increased from £238,000 to £517,910 over the 21 years to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of ROSE COTTAGE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Canterbury local authority area.
• The February 2004 sale price of £238,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of ROSE COTTAGE has not materially changed since February 2004.
