RAINBOWS Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Rother local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The four RAINBOWS sales between June 1999 and February 2014 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 May 2007 sale was for 9% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 9% below the HPI over time, until the February 2014 sale, where it falls to 15% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 15% below the HPI.

What might RAINBOWS be worth now?

RAINBOWS might now be worth an estimated £478,616.

This is based on house price inflation of 70.9%, between February 2014 and December 2024, for detached houses, in the Rother local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 70.9% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for RAINBOWS of £280,000 on 28th February 2014. For the value to have increased from £280,000 to £478,616 over the nine years and two months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of RAINBOWS has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Rother local authority area.
• The February 2014 sale price of £280,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of RAINBOWS has not materially changed since February 2014.
