SPRING 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 two SPRING COTTAGE sales from June 1999 and February 2003 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 1999 sale was for 35% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 35% above the HPI over time, until the February 2003 sale, where it rises to 75% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 75% above the HPI.

What might SPRING COTTAGE be worth now?

SPRING COTTAGE might now be worth an estimated £627,500.

This is based on house price inflation of 112.7%, between February 2003 and April 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 112.7% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for SPRING COTTAGE of £295,000 on 13th February 2003. For the value to have increased from £295,000 to £627,500 over the 21 years and ten months to April 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of SPRING COTTAGE has moved in line with the HPI for semi-detached houses in the Wealden local authority area.
• The February 2003 sale price of £295,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of SPRING COTTAGE has not materially changed since February 2003.
