8 DOWNS VIEW Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average semi-detached house price in the Lewes local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three 8 DOWNS VIEW sales between May 2004 and May 2019 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 2005 sale was for 19% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 19% below the HPI over time, until the May 2019 sale, where it rises to 27% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 27% above the HPI.

What might 8 DOWNS VIEW be worth now?

8 DOWNS VIEW might now be worth an estimated £506,206.

This is based on house price inflation of 19.1%, between May 2019 and December 2024, 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 19.1% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 8 DOWNS VIEW of £425,000 on 8th May 2019. For the value to have increased from £425,000 to £506,206 over the four years and five months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 8 DOWNS VIEW has moved in line with the HPI for semi-detached houses in the Lewes local authority area.
• The May 2019 sale price of £425,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
