23 TOLKIEN ROAD Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Eastbourne local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 23 TOLKIEN ROAD sales from August 2003 and September 2021 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 August 2003 sale was for 43% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 43% below the HPI over time, until the September 2021 sale, where it rises to 34% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 34% below the HPI.

What might 23 TOLKIEN ROAD be worth now?
