2 THE VALE 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 THE VALE sales from October 2001 and June 2002 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 2001 sale was for 80% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 80% above the HPI over time, until the June 2002 sale, where it falls to 71% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 71% above the HPI.

What might 2 THE VALE be worth now?

2 THE VALE might now be worth an estimated £1,476,099.

This is based on house price inflation of 195.2%, between June 2002 and February 2025, 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 195.2% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 2 THE VALE of £499,950 on 28th June 2002. For the value to have increased from £499,950 to £1,476,099 over the 23 years and four months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 2 THE VALE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Brighton and Hove local authority area.
• The June 2002 sale price of £499,950 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of 2 THE VALE has not materially changed since June 2002.
