SANDPIPERS Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Wealden local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two SANDPIPERS sales from January 2007 and July 2023 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 January 2007 sale was for 49% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 49% above the HPI over time, until the July 2023 sale, where it falls to 48% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 48% above the HPI.

What might SANDPIPERS be worth now?

SANDPIPERS might now be worth an estimated £907,650.

This is based on house price inflation of 0.8%, between July 2023 and December 2024, for detached houses, in the Wealden local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 0.8% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for SANDPIPERS of £900,000 on 5th July 2023. For the value to have increased from £900,000 to £907,650 over the seven months 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 Wealden local authority area.
• The July 2023 sale price of £900,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of SANDPIPERS has not materially changed since July 2023.
