15 ESSENHIGH DRIVE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Worthing local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The four 15 ESSENHIGH DRIVE sales between October 1998 and September 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 May 2004 sale was for 47% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 47% below the HPI over time, until the September 2021 sale, where it falls to 51% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 51% below the HPI.

What might 15 ESSENHIGH DRIVE be worth now?

This is based on house price inflation of 4.4%, between September 2021 and December 2024, for 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 4.4% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 15 ESSENHIGH DRIVE of £285,000 on 3rd September 2021. For the value to have increased from £285,000 to £297,517 over the two years and nine months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:
