SPRINGMEAD Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Mid Sussex local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two SPRINGMEAD sales from December 2005 and August 2016 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 December 2005 sale was for 121% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 121% above the HPI over time, until the August 2016 sale, where it falls to 105% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 105% above the HPI.

What might SPRINGMEAD be worth now?

SPRINGMEAD might now be worth an estimated £1,520,380.

This is based on house price inflation of 23.6%, between August 2016 and December 2024, for detached houses, in the Mid Sussex local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 23.6% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for SPRINGMEAD of £1,230,000 on 11th August 2016. For the value to have increased from £1,230,000 to £1,520,380 over the seven years and eight months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of SPRINGMEAD has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Mid Sussex local authority area.
• The August 2016 sale price of £1,230,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of SPRINGMEAD has not materially changed since August 2016.
