5 LAPWING 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 5 LAPWING CLOSE sales between August 2000 and January 2025 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 October 2023 sale was for 35% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 35% below the HPI over time, until the January 2025 sale, where it rises to 7% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 7% below the HPI.

What might 5 LAPWING CLOSE be worth now?
