18 BIRKDALE CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average semi-detached house price in the Worthing local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 18 BIRKDALE CLOSE sales from October 2012 and July 2017 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 2012 sale was for 11% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 11% below the HPI over time, until the July 2017 sale, where it rises to roughly the same level as the HPI. The line then continues to track in line with the HPI.

What might 18 BIRKDALE CLOSE be worth now?

This is based on house price inflation of 31%, between July 2017 and February 2025, for semi-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 31% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 18 BIRKDALE CLOSE of £332,500 on 3rd July 2017. For the value to have increased from £332,500 to £435,721 over the eight years and five months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:
