5 ALICE 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 two 5 ALICE CLOSE sales from February 1999 and December 2009 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 February 1999 sale was for 52% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 52% below the HPI over time, until the December 2009 sale, where it rises to 104% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 104% above the HPI.

What might 5 ALICE CLOSE be worth now?

5 ALICE CLOSE might now be worth an estimated £1,744,389.

This is based on house price inflation of 99.4%, between December 2009 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 99.4% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 5 ALICE CLOSE of £875,000 on 10th December 2009. For the value to have increased from £875,000 to £1,744,389 over the fifteen years to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 5 ALICE CLOSE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Brighton and Hove local authority area.
