23 WESTERGATE CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average semi-detached house price in the Arun local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 23 WESTERGATE CLOSE sales from October 2009 and February 2020 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 2009 sale was for 5% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 5% below the HPI over time, until the February 2020 sale, where it rises to 11% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 11% above the HPI.

What might 23 WESTERGATE CLOSE be worth now?

This is based on house price inflation of 22.4%, between February 2020 and February 2025, for semi-detached houses, in the Arun local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 22.4% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 23 WESTERGATE CLOSE of £327,500 on 26th February 2020. For the value to have increased from £327,500 to £400,908 over the five years to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:
