2 HAMSEY CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average semi-detached house price in the Brighton and Hove local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 2 HAMSEY CLOSE sales from October 2002 and March 2015 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 2002 sale was for 29% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 29% below the HPI over time, until the March 2015 sale, where it rises to 26% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 26% below the HPI.

What might 2 HAMSEY CLOSE be worth now?

2 HAMSEY CLOSE might now be worth an estimated £409,713.

This is based on house price inflation of 54.6%, between March 2015 and February 2025, for semi-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 54.6% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 2 HAMSEY CLOSE of £265,000 on 27th March 2015. For the value to have increased from £265,000 to £409,713 over the ten years and one month to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 2 HAMSEY CLOSE has moved in line with the HPI for semi-detached houses in the Brighton and Hove local authority area.
• The March 2015 sale price of £265,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
