5 SOMERHILL ROAD 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 SOMERHILL ROAD sales from December 1996 and October 1998 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 December 1996 sale was for 5% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 5% above the HPI over time, until the October 1998 sale, where it rises to 60% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 60% above the HPI.

What might 5 SOMERHILL ROAD be worth now?

5 SOMERHILL ROAD might now be worth an estimated £1,387,226.

This is based on house price inflation of 454.9%, between October 1998 and February 2025, 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 454.9% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 5 SOMERHILL ROAD of £250,000 on 9th October 1998. For the value to have increased from £250,000 to £1,387,226 over the 27 years and eight months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 5 SOMERHILL ROAD has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Brighton and Hove local authority area.
• The October 1998 sale price of £250,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
