2 SYLVESTER WAY 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 two 2 SYLVESTER WAY sales from January 2007 and August 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 January 2007 sale was for 32% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 32% below the HPI over time, until the August 2018 sale, where it rises to 30% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 30% below the HPI.

What might 2 SYLVESTER WAY be worth now?

2 SYLVESTER WAY might now be worth an estimated £595,575.

This is based on house price inflation of 19.1%, between August 2018 and December 2024, 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 19.1% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 2 SYLVESTER WAY of £500,000 on 9th August 2018. For the value to have increased from £500,000 to £595,575 over the five years and eight months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 2 SYLVESTER WAY has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Brighton and Hove local authority area.
• The August 2018 sale price of £500,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
