20 FOREST CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average semi-detached house price in the Mid Sussex local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 20 FOREST CLOSE sales from February 1997 and December 2016 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 February 1997 sale was for 17% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 17% below the HPI over time, until the December 2016 sale, where it rises to 14% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 14% below the HPI.

What might 20 FOREST CLOSE be worth now?

20 FOREST CLOSE might now be worth an estimated £398,448.

This is based on house price inflation of 28.3%, between December 2016 and February 2025, for semi-detached houses, in the Mid Sussex local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 28.3% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 20 FOREST CLOSE of £310,500 on 5th December 2016. For the value to have increased from £310,500 to £398,448 over the nine years and ten months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 20 FOREST CLOSE has moved in line with the HPI for semi-detached houses in the Mid Sussex local authority area.
• The December 2016 sale price of £310,500 represented a fair market value for the property.
