171 ELM DRIVE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average semi-detached house price in the Brighton and Hove local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The four 171 ELM DRIVE sales between September 2000 and November 2012 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 February 2007 sale was for 25% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 25% above the HPI over time, until the November 2012 sale, where it rises to 29% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 29% above the HPI.

What might 171 ELM DRIVE be worth now?

This is based on house price inflation of 78.6%, between November 2012 and June 2025, for semi-detached houses, in the Brighton and Hove local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 78.6% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 171 ELM DRIVE of £392,500 on 30th November 2012. For the value to have increased from £392,500 to £701,199 over the thirteen years and five months to June 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:
