42 FERN CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average semi-detached house price in the Eastbourne local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three 42 FERN CLOSE sales between June 1995 and July 2024 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 March 2006 sale was for 21% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 21% below the HPI over time, until the July 2024 sale, where it falls to 31% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 31% below the HPI.

What might 42 FERN CLOSE be worth now?

This is based on house price deflation of 3.5%, between July 2024 and February 2025, for semi-detached houses, in the Eastbourne local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 3.5% deflationary decrease is applied to the most recent sale price for 42 FERN CLOSE of £255,000 on 22nd July 2024. For the value to have decreased from £255,000 to £246,129 over the one year and five months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:
