1 SHORTS CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Mid Sussex local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three 1 SHORTS CLOSE sales between February 1997 and February 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 June 1999 sale was for 36% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 36% below the HPI over time, until the February 2021 sale, where it rises to 31% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 31% below the HPI.

What might 1 SHORTS CLOSE be worth now?

1 SHORTS CLOSE might now be worth an estimated £508,834.

This is based on house price inflation of 16.2%, between February 2021 and December 2024, for detached houses, in the Mid Sussex local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 16.2% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 1 SHORTS CLOSE of £438,000 on 3rd February 2021. For the value to have increased from £438,000 to £508,834 over the two years and two months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 1 SHORTS CLOSE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Mid Sussex local authority area.
• The February 2021 sale price of £438,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
