LYDCOMBE 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 three LYDCOMBE sales between April 2010 and September 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 July 2012 sale was for 12% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 12% below the HPI over time, until the September 2015 sale, where it falls to 14% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 14% below the HPI.

What might LYDCOMBE be worth now?

LYDCOMBE might now be worth an estimated £641,162.

This is based on house price inflation of 35%, between September 2015 and December 2024, 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 35% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for LYDCOMBE of £475,000 on 3rd September 2015. For the value to have increased from £475,000 to £641,162 over the eight years and nine months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of LYDCOMBE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Mid Sussex local authority area.
• The September 2015 sale price of £475,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of LYDCOMBE has not materially changed since September 2015.
