16 FIRLE CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Lewes local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 16 FIRLE CLOSE sales from July 2001 and October 2020 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 2001 sale was for 75% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 75% above the HPI over time, until the October 2020 sale, where it falls to 46% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 46% above the HPI.

What might 16 FIRLE CLOSE be worth now?

16 FIRLE CLOSE might now be worth an estimated £849,495.

This is based on house price inflation of 7.5%, between October 2020 and February 2025, for detached houses, in the Lewes local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 7.5% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 16 FIRLE CLOSE of £790,000 on 6th October 2020. For the value to have increased from £790,000 to £849,495 over the five years and eight months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 16 FIRLE CLOSE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Lewes local authority area.
• The October 2020 sale price of £790,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
