WATCH OAK HOUSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Rother local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two WATCH OAK HOUSE sales from September 2000 and January 2002 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 2000 sale was for 43% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 43% below the HPI over time, until the January 2002 sale, where it falls to 49% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 49% below the HPI.

What might WATCH OAK HOUSE be worth now?

WATCH OAK HOUSE might now be worth an estimated £279,371.

This is based on house price inflation of 179.4%, between January 2002 and August 2025, for detached houses, in the Rother local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 179.4% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for WATCH OAK HOUSE of £100,000 on 28th January 2002. For the value to have increased from £100,000 to £279,371 over the 22 years and five months to August 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of WATCH OAK HOUSE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Rother local authority area.
• The January 2002 sale price of £100,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of WATCH OAK HOUSE has not materially changed since January 2002.
