HORSECROFT 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 HORSECROFT sales from February 2004 and March 2017 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 February 2004 sale was for 16% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 16% below the HPI over time, until the March 2017 sale, where it rises to 13% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 13% below the HPI.

What might HORSECROFT be worth now?

HORSECROFT might now be worth an estimated £647,016.

This is based on house price inflation of 25.6%, between March 2017 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 25.6% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for HORSECROFT of £515,000 on 1st March 2017. For the value to have increased from £515,000 to £647,016 over the eight years and one month to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of HORSECROFT has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Mid Sussex local authority area.
• The March 2017 sale price of £515,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of HORSECROFT has not materially changed since March 2017.
