BERNCROFT 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 three BERNCROFT sales between February 2002 and January 2017 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 October 2005 sale was for 9% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 9% above the HPI over time, until the January 2017 sale, where it rises to 31% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 31% above the HPI.

What might BERNCROFT be worth now?

BERNCROFT might now be worth an estimated £980,428.

This is based on house price inflation of 23.3%, between January 2017 and February 2025, 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 23.3% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for BERNCROFT of £795,000 on 20th January 2017. For the value to have increased from £795,000 to £980,428 over the seven years and eleven months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of BERNCROFT has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Mid Sussex local authority area.
• The January 2017 sale price of £795,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of BERNCROFT has not materially changed since January 2017.
