15 ORCHARD CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Mid Sussex local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 15 ORCHARD CLOSE sales from July 2006 and April 2016 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 July 2006 sale was for 32% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 32% below the HPI over time, until the April 2016 sale, where it rises to 15% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 15% below the HPI.

What might 15 ORCHARD CLOSE be worth now?

15 ORCHARD CLOSE might now be worth an estimated £636,764.

This is based on house price inflation of 30%, between April 2016 and February 2025, for detached houses, in the Mid Sussex local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 30% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 15 ORCHARD CLOSE of £490,000 on 5th April 2016. For the value to have increased from £490,000 to £636,764 over the nine years and two months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 15 ORCHARD CLOSE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Mid Sussex local authority area.
• The April 2016 sale price of £490,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of 15 ORCHARD CLOSE has not materially changed since April 2016.
