FIRLE HOUSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Lewes local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three FIRLE HOUSE sales between September 1999 and August 2007 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 April 2005 sale was for 78% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 78% above the HPI over time, until the August 2007 sale, where it rises to 127% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 127% above the HPI.

What might FIRLE HOUSE be worth now?

FIRLE HOUSE might now be worth an estimated £1,343,445.

This is based on house price inflation of 58.1%, between August 2007 and March 2025, for detached houses, in the Lewes local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 58.1% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for FIRLE HOUSE of £850,000 on 20th August 2007. For the value to have increased from £850,000 to £1,343,445 over the eighteen years and five months to March 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of FIRLE HOUSE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Lewes local authority area.
• The August 2007 sale price of £850,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of FIRLE HOUSE has not materially changed since August 2007.
