40 THE BLATCHEN Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Arun local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The five 40 THE BLATCHEN sales between October 1995 and January 2024 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 July 2006 sale was for 28% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 28% below the HPI over time, until the January 2024 sale, where it falls to 41% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 41% below the HPI.

What might 40 THE BLATCHEN be worth now?

This is based on house price inflation of 1.7%, between January 2024 and December 2024, for detached houses, in the Arun local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 1.7% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 40 THE BLATCHEN of £330,000 on 18th January 2024. For the value to have increased from £330,000 to £335,769 over the one month to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 40 THE BLATCHEN has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Arun local authority area.
• The January 2024 sale price of £330,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
