The below graph shows the average semi-detached house price in the Lewes local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The five 79 SUTTON DROVE sales between May 1995 and May 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 January 2008 sale was for 2% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 2% below the HPI over time, until the May 2013 sale, where it rises to roughly the same level as the HPI. The line then continues to track in line with the HPI.
79 SUTTON DROVE might now be worth an estimated £395,714.
This is based on house price inflation of 58.3%, between May 2013 and February 2025, for semi-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 58.3% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 79 SUTTON DROVE of £250,000 on 10th May 2013. For the value to have increased from £250,000 to £395,714 over the twelve years and three months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:
