FORTNUM HOUSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Mid Sussex local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two FORTNUM HOUSE sales from September 2013 and May 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 2013 sale was for 14% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 14% below the HPI over time, until the May 2019 sale, where it falls to 16% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 16% below the HPI.

What might FORTNUM HOUSE be worth now?

This is based on house price inflation of 19.1%, between May 2019 and March 2025, for detached houses, in the Mid Sussex local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 19.1% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for FORTNUM HOUSE of £509,000 on 31st May 2019. For the value to have increased from £509,000 to £606,363 over the six years and two months to March 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:
