SUMMERCROFT 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 SUMMERCROFT sales from August 2018 and June 2024 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 2018 sale was for 8% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 8% below the HPI over time, until the June 2024 sale, where it rises to 20% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 20% above the HPI.

What might SUMMERCROFT be worth now?

SUMMERCROFT might now be worth an estimated £890,535.

This is based on house price inflation of 3.9%, between June 2024 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 3.9% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for SUMMERCROFT of £857,500 on 7th June 2024. For the value to have increased from £857,500 to £890,535 over the six months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of SUMMERCROFT has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Mid Sussex local authority area.
• The June 2024 sale price of £857,500 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of SUMMERCROFT has not materially changed since June 2024.
