8 THE PLATT Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Mid Sussex local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The four 8 THE PLATT sales between April 2011 and March 2020 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 May 2017 sale was for 11% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 11% below the HPI over time, until the March 2020 sale, where it falls to 15% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 15% below the HPI.

What might 8 THE PLATT be worth now?

8 THE PLATT might now be worth an estimated £630,139.

This is based on house price inflation of 20%, between March 2020 and December 2024, for detached houses, in the Mid Sussex local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 20% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 8 THE PLATT of £525,000 on 12th March 2020. For the value to have increased from £525,000 to £630,139 over the three years and three months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 8 THE PLATT has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Mid Sussex local authority area.
• The March 2020 sale price of £525,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of 8 THE PLATT has not materially changed since March 2020.
