3 COWDENS CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average semi-detached house price in the Brighton and Hove local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three 3 COWDENS CLOSE sales between January 2007 and August 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 November 2007 sale was for 6% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 6% below the HPI over time, until the August 2016 sale, where it falls to 7% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 7% below the HPI.

What might 3 COWDENS CLOSE be worth now?

3 COWDENS CLOSE might now be worth an estimated £509,924.

The 29.9% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 3 COWDENS CLOSE of £392,500 on 19th August 2016. For the value to have increased from £392,500 to £509,924 over the seven years and eight months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:
