THE COTTAGE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average semi-detached house price in the Hastings local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The four THE COTTAGE sales between December 1998 and May 2017 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 September 2014 sale was for 41% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 41% above the HPI over time, until the May 2017 sale, where it rises to 57% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 57% above the HPI.

What might THE COTTAGE be worth now?

THE COTTAGE might now be worth an estimated £529,441.

This is based on house price inflation of 41.2%, between May 2017 and August 2025, for semi-detached houses, in the Hastings local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 41.2% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for THE COTTAGE of £375,000 on 16th May 2017. For the value to have increased from £375,000 to £529,441 over the seven years and nine months to August 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of THE COTTAGE has moved in line with the HPI for semi-detached houses in the Hastings local authority area.
• The May 2017 sale price of £375,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of THE COTTAGE has not materially changed since May 2017.
