1 ELY CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average semi-detached house price in the Worthing local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 1 ELY CLOSE sales from July 2007 and May 2013 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 July 2007 sale was for 2% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 2% below the HPI over time, until the May 2013 sale, which was also at 2% below the HPI.

What might 1 ELY CLOSE be worth now?

1 ELY CLOSE might now be worth an estimated £413,497.

This is based on house price inflation of 81.4%, between May 2013 and December 2024, for semi-detached houses, in the Worthing local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 81.4% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 1 ELY CLOSE of £228,000 on 17th May 2013. For the value to have increased from £228,000 to £413,497 over the ten years and five months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 1 ELY CLOSE has moved in line with the HPI for semi-detached houses in the Worthing local authority area.
• The May 2013 sale price of £228,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
