178A SOMPTING ROAD 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 178A SOMPTING ROAD sales from August 1997 and February 2018 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 August 1997 sale was for 16% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 16% below the HPI over time, until the February 2018 sale, where it falls to 36% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 36% below the HPI.

What might 178A SOMPTING ROAD be worth now?

This is based on house price inflation of 21.1%, between February 2018 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 21.1% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 178A SOMPTING ROAD of £320,000 on 15th February 2018. For the value to have increased from £320,000 to £387,643 over the five years and two months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:
