17 THE VALE 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 17 THE VALE sales between February 2002 and August 2019 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 February 2003 sale was for 13% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 13% above the HPI over time, until the August 2019 sale, where it falls to 9% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 9% above the HPI.

What might 17 THE VALE be worth now?

17 THE VALE might now be worth an estimated £939,473.

This is based on house price inflation of 20.9%, between August 2019 and February 2025, 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 20.9% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 17 THE VALE of £777,000 on 7th August 2019. For the value to have increased from £777,000 to £939,473 over the six years and six months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 17 THE VALE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Brighton and Hove local authority area.
• The August 2019 sale price of £777,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of 17 THE VALE has not materially changed since August 2019.
