1 WEST CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Wealden local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 1 WEST CLOSE sales from August 1997 and July 2020 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 August 1997 sale was for 66% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 66% below the HPI over time, until the July 2020 sale, where it rises to 8% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 8% below the HPI.

What might 1 WEST CLOSE be worth now?

This is based on house price inflation of 18.4%, between July 2020 and February 2025, for detached houses, in the Wealden local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 18.4% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 1 WEST CLOSE of £472,500 on 30th July 2020. For the value to have increased from £472,500 to £559,316 over the five years and five months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 1 WEST CLOSE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Wealden local authority area.
• The July 2020 sale price of £472,500 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of 1 WEST CLOSE has not materially changed since July 2020.
