THE ELMS Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Arun local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two THE ELMS sales from January 2014 and September 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 January 2014 sale was for 4% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 4% below the HPI over time, until the September 2016 sale, where it rises to 9% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 9% above the HPI.

What might THE ELMS be worth now?

THE ELMS might now be worth an estimated £624,888.

This is based on house price inflation of 30.2%, between September 2016 and February 2025, for detached houses, in the Arun local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 30.2% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for THE ELMS of £480,000 on 16th September 2016. For the value to have increased from £480,000 to £624,888 over the nine years and seven months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of THE ELMS has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Arun local authority area.
• The September 2016 sale price of £480,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of THE ELMS has not materially changed since September 2016.
