SANDPIPERS 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 two SANDPIPERS sales from August 1995 and January 2003 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 August 1995 sale was for 36% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 36% above the HPI over time, until the January 2003 sale, where it falls to 26% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 26% above the HPI.

What might SANDPIPERS be worth now?

SANDPIPERS might now be worth an estimated £766,178.

This is based on house price inflation of 122.1%, between January 2003 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 122.1% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for SANDPIPERS of £345,000 on 30th January 2003. For the value to have increased from £345,000 to £766,178 over the twenty years and one month to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of SANDPIPERS has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Worthing local authority area.
• The January 2003 sale price of £345,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of SANDPIPERS has not materially changed since January 2003.
