ETCHINGHAM Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Wealden local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two ETCHINGHAM sales from September 1997 and November 2005 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 1997 sale was for 39% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 39% below the HPI over time, until the November 2005 sale, where it rises to 53% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 53% above the HPI.

What might ETCHINGHAM be worth now?

ETCHINGHAM might now be worth an estimated £923,903.

This is based on house price inflation of 84.8%, between November 2005 and February 2025, for detached houses, in the Wealden local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 84.8% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for ETCHINGHAM of £500,000 on 18th November 2005. For the value to have increased from £500,000 to £923,903 over the twenty years and nine months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of ETCHINGHAM has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Wealden local authority area.
• The November 2005 sale price of £500,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of ETCHINGHAM has not materially changed since November 2005.
