1 WESTERGATE CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Arun local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 1 WESTERGATE CLOSE sales from October 2013 and June 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 October 2013 sale was for 19% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 19% below the HPI over time, until the June 2017 sale, where it rises to 17% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 17% below the HPI.

What might 1 WESTERGATE CLOSE be worth now?

This is based on house price inflation of 28.5%, between June 2017 and December 2024, for detached houses, in the Arun local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 28.5% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 1 WESTERGATE CLOSE of £370,000 on 30th June 2017. For the value to have increased from £370,000 to £475,625 over the six years and six months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:
