155 WORDSWORTH DRIVE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average semi-detached house price in the Eastbourne local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The four 155 WORDSWORTH DRIVE sales between July 1996 and August 2022 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 December 2005 sale was for 18% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 18% below the HPI over time, until the August 2022 sale, where it falls to 29% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 29% below the HPI.

What might 155 WORDSWORTH DRIVE be worth now?

This is based on house price deflation of 10.2%, between August 2022 and December 2024, for semi-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 10.2% deflationary decrease is applied to the most recent sale price for 155 WORDSWORTH DRIVE of £280,000 on 4th August 2022. For the value to have decreased from £280,000 to £251,526 over the one year and eight months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:
