15 MOUNT DRIVE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Brighton and Hove local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three 15 MOUNT DRIVE sales between December 1998 and July 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 May 2003 sale was for 50% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 50% below the HPI over time, until the July 2014 sale, where it falls to 51% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 51% below the HPI.

What might 15 MOUNT DRIVE be worth now?

15 MOUNT DRIVE might now be worth an estimated £414,223.

This is based on house price inflation of 56.3%, between July 2014 and December 2024, for detached houses, in the Brighton and Hove local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 56.3% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 15 MOUNT DRIVE of £265,000 on 9th July 2014. For the value to have increased from £265,000 to £414,223 over the nine years and seven months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 15 MOUNT DRIVE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Brighton and Hove local authority area.
• The July 2014 sale price of £265,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
