31 DOWNSCROFT Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Lewes local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 31 DOWNSCROFT sales from November 1998 and February 2012 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 1998 sale was for 3% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 3% above the HPI over time, until the February 2012 sale, where it falls to 15% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 15% below the HPI.

What might 31 DOWNSCROFT be worth now?

31 DOWNSCROFT might now be worth an estimated £497,689.

This is based on house price inflation of 60.5%, between February 2012 and February 2025, for detached houses, in the Lewes local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 60.5% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 31 DOWNSCROFT of £310,000 on 21st February 2012. For the value to have increased from £310,000 to £497,689 over the thirteen years to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 31 DOWNSCROFT has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Lewes local authority area.
• The February 2012 sale price of £310,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of 31 DOWNSCROFT has not materially changed since February 2012.
