5 THE CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average semi-detached house price in the Mid Sussex local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The four 5 THE CLOSE sales between June 1997 and November 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 June 2011 sale was for 34% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 34% above the HPI over time, until the November 2018 sale, where it rises to 46% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 46% above the HPI.

What might 5 THE CLOSE be worth now?

5 THE CLOSE might now be worth an estimated £659,882.

This is based on house price inflation of 20.5%, between November 2018 and April 2026, for semi-detached houses, in the Mid Sussex local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 20.5% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 5 THE CLOSE of £547,500 on 5th November 2018. For the value to have increased from £547,500 to £659,882 over the eight years and seven months to April 2026, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 5 THE CLOSE has moved in line with the HPI for semi-detached houses in the Mid Sussex local authority area.
• The November 2018 sale price of £547,500 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of 5 THE CLOSE has not materially changed since November 2018.
