2 THE CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Wealden local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 2 THE CLOSE sales from July 1998 and June 2010 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 July 1998 sale was for 83% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 83% above the HPI over time, until the June 2010 sale, where it falls to 60% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 60% above the HPI.

What might 2 THE CLOSE be worth now?

2 THE CLOSE might now be worth an estimated £965,266.

This is based on house price inflation of 66.4%, between June 2010 and February 2025, for detached houses, in the Wealden local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 66.4% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 2 THE CLOSE of £580,000 on 11th June 2010. For the value to have increased from £580,000 to £965,266 over the fifteen years and four months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 2 THE CLOSE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Wealden local authority area.
• The June 2010 sale price of £580,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of 2 THE CLOSE has not materially changed since June 2010.
