LORETO 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 LORETO sales between July 1996 and November 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 September 2005 sale was for 22% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 22% below the HPI over time, until the November 2015 sale, where it falls to 24% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 24% below the HPI.

What might LORETO be worth now?

LORETO might now be worth an estimated £460,469.

This is based on house price inflation of 34.6%, between November 2015 and December 2024, 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 34.6% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for LORETO of £342,000 on 30th November 2015. For the value to have increased from £342,000 to £460,469 over the eight years and eleven months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of LORETO has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Worthing local authority area.
• The November 2015 sale price of £342,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of LORETO has not materially changed since November 2015.
