HIGHCROFT Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Worthing local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three HIGHCROFT sales between October 1999 and January 2015 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 June 2008 sale was for 4% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 4% above the HPI over time, until the January 2015 sale, where it falls to 2% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 2% below the HPI.

What might HIGHCROFT be worth now?

HIGHCROFT might now be worth an estimated £621,189.

This is based on house price inflation of 53.4%, between January 2015 and February 2025, for detached houses, in the Worthing local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 53.4% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for HIGHCROFT of £405,000 on 7th January 2015. For the value to have increased from £405,000 to £621,189 over the nine years and eleven months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of HIGHCROFT has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Worthing local authority area.
• The January 2015 sale price of £405,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of HIGHCROFT has not materially changed since January 2015.
