16 THE HEIGHTS Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Worthing local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 16 THE HEIGHTS sales from October 2000 and January 2010 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 October 2000 sale was for 17% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 17% below the HPI over time, until the January 2010 sale, where it rises to 14% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 14% below the HPI.

What might 16 THE HEIGHTS be worth now?

16 THE HEIGHTS might now be worth an estimated £523,033.

This is based on house price inflation of 88.5%, between January 2010 and December 2024, for detached houses, in the Worthing local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 88.5% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 16 THE HEIGHTS of £277,500 on 15th January 2010. For the value to have increased from £277,500 to £523,033 over the thirteen years and one month to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 16 THE HEIGHTS has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Worthing local authority area.
• The January 2010 sale price of £277,500 represented a fair market value for the property.
