5 THE HEIGHTS Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Hastings local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 5 THE HEIGHTS sales from March 1997 and October 2022 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 1997 sale was for 3% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 3% above the HPI over time, until the October 2022 sale, where it falls to 14% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 14% below the HPI.

What might 5 THE HEIGHTS be worth now?

This is based on house price deflation of 12.5%, between October 2022 and December 2024, for detached houses, in the Hastings local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 12.5% deflationary decrease is applied to the most recent sale price for 5 THE HEIGHTS of £485,000 on 18th October 2022. For the value to have decreased from £485,000 to £424,240 over the one year and ten months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:
