5 VARNDEAN 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 VARNDEAN CLOSE sales from November 1995 and January 2014 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 November 1995 sale was for 31% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 31% above the HPI over time, until the January 2014 sale, where it falls to 4% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 4% above the HPI.

What might 5 VARNDEAN CLOSE be worth now?

This is based on house price inflation of 66.7%, between January 2014 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 66.7% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 5 VARNDEAN CLOSE of £540,000 on 23rd January 2014. For the value to have increased from £540,000 to £900,360 over the ten years and eleven months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:
