4 CHARLES CLOSE 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 4 CHARLES CLOSE sales between December 1996 and September 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 December 1999 sale was for 30% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 30% below the HPI over time, until the September 2012 sale, where it falls to 31% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 31% below the HPI.

What might 4 CHARLES CLOSE be worth now?

4 CHARLES CLOSE might now be worth an estimated £588,808.

This is based on house price inflation of 72.5%, between September 2012 and December 2024, 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 72.5% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 4 CHARLES CLOSE of £341,250 on 14th September 2012. For the value to have increased from £341,250 to £588,808 over the eleven years and nine months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 4 CHARLES CLOSE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Brighton and Hove local authority area.
