THE WELL HOUSE 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 THE WELL HOUSE sales from July 2001 and February 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 July 2001 sale was for 131% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 131% above the HPI over time, until the February 2021 sale, where it falls to 99% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 99% above the HPI.

What might THE WELL HOUSE be worth now?

THE WELL HOUSE might now be worth an estimated £1,475,386.

This is based on house price inflation of 16.2%, between February 2021 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 16.2% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for THE WELL HOUSE of £1,270,000 on 22nd February 2021. For the value to have increased from £1,270,000 to £1,475,386 over the two years and two months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of THE WELL HOUSE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Mid Sussex local authority area.
• The February 2021 sale price of £1,270,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of THE WELL HOUSE has not materially changed since February 2021.
