FAIRLIGHT Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average semi-detached house price in the Wealden local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The five FAIRLIGHT sales between October 1998 and February 2021 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 December 2015 sale was for 57% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 57% above the HPI over time, until the February 2021 sale, where it rises to 58% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 58% above the HPI.

What might FAIRLIGHT be worth now?

FAIRLIGHT might now be worth an estimated £564,951.

This is based on house price inflation of 13%, between February 2021 and March 2025, for semi-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 13% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for FAIRLIGHT of £500,000 on 22nd February 2021. For the value to have increased from £500,000 to £564,951 over the three years and eleven months to March 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of FAIRLIGHT has moved in line with the HPI for semi-detached houses in the Wealden local authority area.
• The February 2021 sale price of £500,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of FAIRLIGHT has not materially changed since February 2021.
