3 COLLEGE CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Mid Sussex local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three 3 COLLEGE CLOSE sales between April 1998 and August 2024 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 April 2022 sale was for 18% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 18% below the HPI over time, until the August 2024 sale, which was also at 18% below the HPI.

What might 3 COLLEGE CLOSE be worth now?

3 COLLEGE CLOSE might now be worth an estimated £606,043.

This is based on house price inflation of 1%, between August 2024 and December 2024, for 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 1% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 3 COLLEGE CLOSE of £600,000 on 20th August 2024. For the value to have increased from £600,000 to £606,043 over the eight months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:
