15 GORSE CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Eastbourne local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 15 GORSE CLOSE sales from May 1998 and April 1999 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 1998 sale was for 15% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 15% below the HPI over time, until the April 1999 sale, where it rises to 14% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 14% below the HPI.

What might 15 GORSE CLOSE be worth now?

This is based on house price inflation of 362.8%, between April 1999 and December 2024, for detached houses, in the Eastbourne local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 362.8% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 15 GORSE CLOSE of £96,000 on 30th April 1999. For the value to have increased from £96,000 to £444,302 over the 24 years and four months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:
