SEACROFT 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 SEACROFT sales from August 2002 and July 2007 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 2002 sale was for 55% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 55% above the HPI over time, until the July 2007 sale, where it falls to 52% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 52% above the HPI.

What might SEACROFT be worth now?

SEACROFT might now be worth an estimated £871,058.

This is based on house price inflation of 64.4%, between July 2007 and December 2024, 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 64.4% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for SEACROFT of £530,000 on 18th July 2007. For the value to have increased from £530,000 to £871,058 over the sixteen years and seven months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of SEACROFT has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Arun local authority area.
• The July 2007 sale price of £530,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of SEACROFT has not materially changed since July 2007.
