BRIAR CROFT Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Worthing local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two BRIAR CROFT sales from July 2000 and April 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 July 2000 sale was for 1% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 1% above the HPI over time, until the April 2017 sale, where it rises to 8% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 8% above the HPI.

What might BRIAR CROFT be worth now?

BRIAR CROFT might now be worth an estimated £655,427.

This is based on house price inflation of 23.7%, between April 2017 and December 2024, for detached houses, in the Worthing local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 23.7% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for BRIAR CROFT of £530,000 on 28th April 2017. For the value to have increased from £530,000 to £655,427 over the six years and four months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of BRIAR CROFT has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Worthing local authority area.
• The April 2017 sale price of £530,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of BRIAR CROFT has not materially changed since April 2017.
