38 HILL DRIVE 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 38 HILL DRIVE sales between November 1997 and August 2013 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 March 2004 sale was for 133% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 133% above the HPI over time, until the August 2013 sale, where it falls to 110% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 110% above the HPI.

What might 38 HILL DRIVE be worth now?

The 73.8% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 38 HILL DRIVE of £663,000 on 2nd August 2013. For the value to have increased from £663,000 to £1,152,247 over the ten years and eight months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:
