26 DOUCE GROVE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average semi-detached house price in the Hastings local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The four 26 DOUCE GROVE sales between August 2007 and November 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 2018 sale was for 19% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 19% below the HPI over time, until the November 2020 sale, where it rises to 18% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 18% below the HPI.

What might 26 DOUCE GROVE be worth now?

26 DOUCE GROVE might now be worth an estimated £274,908.

This is based on house price inflation of 14.5%, between November 2020 and December 2024, for semi-detached houses, in the Hastings local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 14.5% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 26 DOUCE GROVE of £240,000 on 2nd November 2020. For the value to have increased from £240,000 to £274,908 over the three years and eleven months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 26 DOUCE GROVE has moved in line with the HPI for semi-detached houses in the Hastings local authority area.
• The November 2020 sale price of £240,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
