KIMSEA Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Chichester local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The four KIMSEA sales between May 1995 and November 2008 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 April 2004 sale was for 34% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 34% below the HPI over time, until the November 2008 sale, where it falls to 43% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 43% below the HPI.

What might KIMSEA be worth now?

KIMSEA might now be worth an estimated £408,061.

This is based on house price inflation of 63.2%, between November 2008 and February 2025, for detached houses, in the Chichester local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 63.2% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for KIMSEA of £250,000 on 21st November 2008. For the value to have increased from £250,000 to £408,061 over the seventeen years and nine months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of KIMSEA has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Chichester local authority area.
• The November 2008 sale price of £250,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of KIMSEA has not materially changed since November 2008.
