5 DOVER CLOSE 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 5 DOVER CLOSE sales between July 1995 and March 2018 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 August 1999 sale was for 24% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 24% below the HPI over time, until the March 2018 sale, where it rises to 5% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 5% below the HPI.

What might 5 DOVER CLOSE be worth now?

5 DOVER CLOSE might now be worth an estimated £374,467.

This is based on house price inflation of 18.9%, between March 2018 and February 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 18.9% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 5 DOVER CLOSE of £315,000 on 29th March 2018. For the value to have increased from £315,000 to £374,467 over the seven years and one month to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 5 DOVER CLOSE has moved in line with the HPI for semi-detached houses in the Lewes local authority area.
• The March 2018 sale price of £315,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of 5 DOVER CLOSE has not materially changed since March 2018.
