8 WEST DRIVE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average semi-detached house price in the Brighton and Hove local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The four 8 WEST DRIVE sales between March 2006 and March 2016 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 July 2010 sale was for 240% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 240% above the HPI over time, until the March 2016 sale, where it falls to 208% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 208% above the HPI.

What might 8 WEST DRIVE be worth now?

8 WEST DRIVE might now be worth an estimated £1,685,275.

This is based on house price inflation of 34.8%, between March 2016 and December 2024, for semi-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 34.8% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 8 WEST DRIVE of £1,250,000 on 31st March 2016. For the value to have increased from £1,250,000 to £1,685,275 over the seven years and three months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 8 WEST DRIVE has moved in line with the HPI for semi-detached houses in the Brighton and Hove local authority area.
• The March 2016 sale price of £1,250,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
