LITTLE DOWN 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 two LITTLE DOWN sales from September 1995 and May 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 September 1995 sale was for 24% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 24% below the HPI over time, until the May 2022 sale, where it rises to 10% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 10% above the HPI.

What might LITTLE DOWN be worth now?

LITTLE DOWN might now be worth an estimated £665,949.

This is based on house price deflation of 0.6%, between May 2022 and February 2025, 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 0.6% deflationary decrease is applied to the most recent sale price for LITTLE DOWN of £670,000 on 6th May 2022. For the value to have decreased from £670,000 to £665,949 over the three years and three months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of LITTLE DOWN has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Wealden local authority area.
• The May 2022 sale price of £670,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of LITTLE DOWN has not materially changed since May 2022.
