THE DOWNS Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Portsmouth local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two THE DOWNS sales from November 2020 and December 2021 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 November 2020 sale was for 168% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 168% above the HPI over time, until the December 2021 sale, where it rises to 253% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 253% above the HPI.

What might THE DOWNS be worth now?

THE DOWNS might now be worth an estimated £1,819,244.

This is based on house price inflation of 7%, between December 2021 and February 2025, for detached houses, in the Portsmouth local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 7% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for THE DOWNS of £1,700,000 on 20th December 2021. For the value to have increased from £1,700,000 to £1,819,244 over the four years and ten months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of THE DOWNS has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Portsmouth local authority area.
• The December 2021 sale price of £1,700,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of THE DOWNS has not materially changed since December 2021.
