5 DOWNSCROFT Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Lewes local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The four 5 DOWNSCROFT sales between April 1997 and October 2010 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 March 2002 sale was for 5% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 5% below the HPI over time, until the October 2010 sale, where it falls to 16% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 16% below the HPI.

What might 5 DOWNSCROFT be worth now?

5 DOWNSCROFT might now be worth an estimated £491,037.

This is based on house price inflation of 66.5%, between October 2010 and February 2025, for detached houses, in the Lewes local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 66.5% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 5 DOWNSCROFT of £295,000 on 22nd October 2010. For the value to have increased from £295,000 to £491,037 over the fifteen years and eight months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 5 DOWNSCROFT has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Lewes local authority area.
• The October 2010 sale price of £295,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of 5 DOWNSCROFT has not materially changed since October 2010.
