26 VALE DRIVE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average semi-detached house price in the Worthing local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three 26 VALE DRIVE sales between February 1998 and January 2003 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 1999 sale was for 12% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 12% above the HPI over time, until the January 2003 sale, where it rises to 32% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 32% above the HPI.

What might 26 VALE DRIVE be worth now?

26 VALE DRIVE might now be worth an estimated £543,629.

This is based on house price inflation of 136.9%, between January 2003 and May 2026, for semi-detached houses, in the Worthing local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 136.9% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 26 VALE DRIVE of £229,500 on 23rd January 2003. For the value to have increased from £229,500 to £543,629 over the 22 years and eight months to May 2026, the following assumptions must hold true:
