5 DUCHESS DRIVE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Lewes local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 5 DUCHESS DRIVE sales from January 2000 and September 2001 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 January 2000 sale was for 37% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 37% above the HPI over time, until the September 2001 sale, where it falls to 25% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 25% above the HPI.

What might 5 DUCHESS DRIVE be worth now?

This is based on house price inflation of 172.5%, between September 2001 and March 2025, for 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 172.5% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 5 DUCHESS DRIVE of £272,500 on 5th September 2001. For the value to have increased from £272,500 to £742,558 over the 24 years and six months to March 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:
