LYME CROFT Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Arun local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two LYME CROFT sales from March 1996 and July 2018 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 March 1996 sale was for 22% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 22% above the HPI over time, until the July 2018 sale, where it falls to 1% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 1% above the HPI.

What might LYME CROFT be worth now?

LYME CROFT might now be worth an estimated £577,844.

This is based on house price inflation of 20.4%, between July 2018 and February 2025, for detached houses, in the Arun local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 20.4% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for LYME CROFT of £480,000 on 30th July 2018. For the value to have increased from £480,000 to £577,844 over the seven years and five months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of LYME CROFT has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Arun local authority area.
• The July 2018 sale price of £480,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of LYME CROFT has not materially changed since July 2018.
