DOWNHAM Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Rother local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three DOWNHAM sales between August 2006 and October 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 September 2010 sale was for 89% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 89% above the HPI over time, until the October 2019 sale, where it falls to 65% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 65% above the HPI.

What might DOWNHAM be worth now?

DOWNHAM might now be worth an estimated £934,966.

This is based on house price inflation of 20.6%, between October 2019 and December 2024, for detached houses, in the Rother local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 20.6% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for DOWNHAM of £775,000 on 16th October 2019. For the value to have increased from £775,000 to £934,966 over the four years and ten months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of DOWNHAM has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Rother local authority area.
• The October 2019 sale price of £775,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of DOWNHAM has not materially changed since October 2019.
