HIDCOTE 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 HIDCOTE sales from August 2000 and November 2022 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 August 2000 sale was for 69% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 69% above the HPI over time, until the November 2022 sale, where it falls to 33% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 33% above the HPI.

What might HIDCOTE be worth now?

HIDCOTE might now be worth an estimated £995,621.

This is based on house price inflation of 2.4%, between November 2022 and February 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 2.4% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for HIDCOTE of £972,000 on 4th November 2022. For the value to have increased from £972,000 to £995,621 over the three years and nine months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of HIDCOTE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Mid Sussex local authority area.
• The November 2022 sale price of £972,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of HIDCOTE has not materially changed since November 2022.
