WOOD HOUSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Lewes local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two WOOD HOUSE sales from May 1995 and January 2009 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 1995 sale was for 77% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 77% above the HPI over time, until the January 2009 sale, where it falls to 57% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 57% above the HPI.

What might WOOD HOUSE be worth now?

WOOD HOUSE might now be worth an estimated £919,807.

This is based on house price inflation of 84%, between January 2009 and December 2024, for detached houses, in the Lewes local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 84% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for WOOD HOUSE of £500,000 on 30th January 2009. For the value to have increased from £500,000 to £919,807 over the fourteen years and one month to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of WOOD HOUSE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Lewes local authority area.
• The January 2009 sale price of £500,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of WOOD HOUSE has not materially changed since January 2009.
