42 WEST CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average semi-detached house price in the Wealden local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 42 WEST CLOSE sales from October 2016 and April 2017 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 October 2016 sale was for 34% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 34% below the HPI over time, until the April 2017 sale, where it rises to 12% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 12% below the HPI.

What might 42 WEST CLOSE be worth now?

42 WEST CLOSE might now be worth an estimated £322,688.

This is based on house price inflation of 29.1%, between April 2017 and December 2024, for semi-detached houses, in the Wealden local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 29.1% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 42 WEST CLOSE of £250,000 on 27th April 2017. For the value to have increased from £250,000 to £322,688 over the six years and four months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 42 WEST CLOSE has moved in line with the HPI for semi-detached houses in the Wealden local authority area.
• The April 2017 sale price of £250,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
