THATCH COTTAGE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Dover local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two THATCH COTTAGE sales from October 2012 and November 2021 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 October 2012 sale was for 41% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 41% above the HPI over time, until the November 2021 sale, where it falls to 34% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 34% above the HPI.

What might THATCH COTTAGE be worth now?

THATCH COTTAGE might now be worth an estimated £650,442.

This is based on house price deflation of 1.1%, between November 2021 and June 2025, for detached houses, in the Dover local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 1.1% deflationary decrease is applied to the most recent sale price for THATCH COTTAGE of £657,500 on 25th November 2021. For the value to have decreased from £657,500 to £650,442 over the four years and five months to June 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:
