GAYHURST 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 two GAYHURST sales from October 1995 and October 2016 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 October 1995 sale was for 28% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 28% below the HPI over time, until the October 2016 sale, which was also at 28% below the HPI.

What might GAYHURST be worth now?

GAYHURST might now be worth an estimated £406,798.

This is based on house price inflation of 35.6%, between October 2016 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 35.6% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for GAYHURST of £300,000 on 12th October 2016. For the value to have increased from £300,000 to £406,798 over the seven years and ten months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of GAYHURST has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Rother local authority area.
• The October 2016 sale price of £300,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of GAYHURST has not materially changed since October 2016.
