TILECROFT 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 TILECROFT sales between September 1997 and March 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 June 2014 sale was for 101% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 101% above the HPI over time, until the March 2021 sale, where it falls to 39% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 39% above the HPI.

What might TILECROFT be worth now?

TILECROFT might now be worth an estimated £1,028,905.

This is based on house price inflation of 17.9%, between March 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 17.9% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for TILECROFT of £872,500 on 5th March 2021. For the value to have increased from £872,500 to £1,028,905 over the two years and three months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of TILECROFT has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Mid Sussex local authority area.
• The March 2021 sale price of £872,500 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of TILECROFT has not materially changed since March 2021.
