7 MELROSE CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average semi-detached house price in the Worthing local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three 7 MELROSE CLOSE sales between December 2001 and January 2013 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 2007 sale was for 7% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 7% above the HPI over time, until the January 2013 sale, where it falls to 2% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 2% above the HPI.

What might 7 MELROSE CLOSE be worth now?

This is based on house price inflation of 78.6%, between January 2013 and December 2024, for semi-detached houses, in the Worthing local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 78.6% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 7 MELROSE CLOSE of £239,995 on 24th January 2013. For the value to have increased from £239,995 to £428,522 over the ten years and one month to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:
