3 THE RETREAT Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Eastbourne local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 3 THE RETREAT sales from February 1999 and April 2014 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 February 1999 sale was for 15% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 15% below the HPI over time, until the April 2014 sale, where it falls to 31% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 31% below the HPI.

What might 3 THE RETREAT be worth now?

3 THE RETREAT might now be worth an estimated £355,808.

This is based on house price inflation of 58.1%, between April 2014 and December 2024, for detached houses, in the Eastbourne local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 58.1% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 3 THE RETREAT of £225,000 on 14th April 2014. For the value to have increased from £225,000 to £355,808 over the nine years and four months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 3 THE RETREAT has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Eastbourne local authority area.
• The April 2014 sale price of £225,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
