3 THE DROVE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Brighton and Hove local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three 3 THE DROVE sales between February 1995 and September 2005 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 1999 sale was for 18% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 18% below the HPI over time, until the September 2005 sale, where it falls to 20% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 20% below the HPI.

What might 3 THE DROVE be worth now?

3 THE DROVE might now be worth an estimated £689,210.

This is based on house price inflation of 126.3%, between September 2005 and February 2025, for detached houses, in the Brighton and Hove local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 126.3% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 3 THE DROVE of £304,500 on 9th September 2005. For the value to have increased from £304,500 to £689,210 over the twenty years and seven months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 3 THE DROVE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Brighton and Hove local authority area.
• The September 2005 sale price of £304,500 represented a fair market value for the property.
