LEALANDS BARN Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Wealden local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The four LEALANDS BARN sales between August 1996 and November 2003 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 2001 sale was for 185% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 185% above the HPI over time, until the November 2003 sale, where it falls to 128% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 128% above the HPI.

What might LEALANDS BARN be worth now?

LEALANDS BARN might now be worth an estimated £1,400,383.

This is based on house price inflation of 104.4%, between November 2003 and December 2024, for detached houses, in the Wealden local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 104.4% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for LEALANDS BARN of £685,000 on 19th November 2003. For the value to have increased from £685,000 to £1,400,383 over the twenty years and eleven months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of LEALANDS BARN has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Wealden local authority area.
• The November 2003 sale price of £685,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of LEALANDS BARN has not materially changed since November 2003.
