THE PONDCROFT 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 three THE PONDCROFT sales between September 2010 and December 2020 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 May 2019 sale was for 96% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 96% below the HPI over time, until the December 2020 sale, where it rises to 98% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 98% above the HPI.

What might THE PONDCROFT be worth now?

THE PONDCROFT might now be worth an estimated £1,467,371.

This is based on house price inflation of 15.1%, between December 2020 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 15.1% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for THE PONDCROFT of £1,275,000 on 9th December 2020. For the value to have increased from £1,275,000 to £1,467,371 over the four years to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of THE PONDCROFT has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Mid Sussex local authority area.
• The December 2020 sale price of £1,275,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of THE PONDCROFT has not materially changed since December 2020.
