5 ALBANY MEWS 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 5 ALBANY MEWS sales between September 1997 and April 2004 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 1999 sale was for 53% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 53% above the HPI over time, until the April 2004 sale, where it rises to 146% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 146% above the HPI.

What might 5 ALBANY MEWS be worth now?

5 ALBANY MEWS might now be worth an estimated £1,345,258.

This is based on house price inflation of 156.2%, between April 2004 and December 2024, for semi-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 156.2% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 5 ALBANY MEWS of £525,000 on 19th April 2004. For the value to have increased from £525,000 to £1,345,258 over the nineteen years and four months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:
