27 THE FORGES Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average semi-detached house price in the Lewes local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three 27 THE FORGES sales between May 2006 and July 2010 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 April 2009 sale was for 5% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 5% below the HPI over time, until the July 2010 sale, which was also at 5% below the HPI.

What might 27 THE FORGES be worth now?

27 THE FORGES might now be worth an estimated £380,978.

This is based on house price inflation of 62.1%, between July 2010 and March 2025, for semi-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 62.1% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 27 THE FORGES of £235,000 on 5th July 2010. For the value to have increased from £235,000 to £380,978 over the fifteen years and four months to March 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 27 THE FORGES has moved in line with the HPI for semi-detached houses in the Lewes local authority area.
• The July 2010 sale price of £235,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of 27 THE FORGES has not materially changed since July 2010.
