THE BEECHES Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Chichester local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two THE BEECHES sales from September 1995 and June 1996 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 September 1995 sale was for 10% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 10% above the HPI over time, until the June 1996 sale, where it falls to roughly the same level as the HPI. The line then continues to track in line with the HPI.

What might THE BEECHES be worth now?

THE BEECHES might now be worth an estimated £708,157.

This is based on house price inflation of 426.5%, between June 1996 and December 2024, for detached houses, in the Chichester local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 426.5% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for THE BEECHES of £134,500 on 28th June 1996. For the value to have increased from £134,500 to £708,157 over the 27 years and six months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of THE BEECHES has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Chichester local authority area.
• The June 1996 sale price of £134,500 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of THE BEECHES has not materially changed since June 1996.
