31 DOWNSVIEW DRIVE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average semi-detached house price in the Lewes local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three 31 DOWNSVIEW DRIVE sales between January 1997 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 June 1999 sale was for 7% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 7% above the HPI over time, until the August 2016 sale, where it falls to 1% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 1% above the HPI.

What might 31 DOWNSVIEW DRIVE be worth now?

This is based on house price inflation of 23.3%, between August 2016 and December 2024, for semi-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 23.3% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 31 DOWNSVIEW DRIVE of £325,000 on 31st August 2016. For the value to have increased from £325,000 to £400,810 over the seven years and eight months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:
