12 BISHOPS CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Lewes local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 12 BISHOPS CLOSE sales from August 2009 and April 2014 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 2009 sale was for 39% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 39% below the HPI over time, until the April 2014 sale, where it rises to 22% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 22% below the HPI.

What might 12 BISHOPS CLOSE be worth now?

This is based on house price inflation of 46.1%, between April 2014 and February 2025, for detached houses, in the Lewes local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 46.1% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 12 BISHOPS CLOSE of £309,950 on 14th April 2014. For the value to have increased from £309,950 to £452,910 over the eleven years and two months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:
