SOUTHERNDOWN 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 two SOUTHERNDOWN sales from February 2006 and January 2022 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 February 2006 sale was for 27% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 27% below the HPI over time, until the January 2022 sale, where it rises to 22% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 22% below the HPI.

What might SOUTHERNDOWN be worth now?

SOUTHERNDOWN might now be worth an estimated £438,956.

This is based on house price inflation of 2.6%, between January 2022 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 2.6% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for SOUTHERNDOWN of £428,000 on 12th January 2022. For the value to have increased from £428,000 to £438,956 over the one year and one month to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of SOUTHERNDOWN has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Rother local authority area.
• The January 2022 sale price of £428,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of SOUTHERNDOWN has not materially changed since January 2022.
