42 TAW CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average semi-detached house price in the Worthing local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The four 42 TAW CLOSE sales between July 2002 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 May 2009 sale was for 8% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 8% below the HPI over time, until the August 2016 sale, where it rises to 1% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 1% below the HPI.

What might 42 TAW CLOSE be worth now?

42 TAW CLOSE might now be worth an estimated £417,769.

This is based on house price inflation of 31.8%, between August 2016 and December 2024, for semi-detached houses, in the Worthing local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 31.8% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 42 TAW CLOSE of £317,000 on 19th August 2016. For the value to have increased from £317,000 to £417,769 over the seven years and eight months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 42 TAW CLOSE has moved in line with the HPI for semi-detached houses in the Worthing local authority area.
• The August 2016 sale price of £317,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
