5 THE TWITTEN Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average semi-detached house price in the Adur local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 5 THE TWITTEN sales from January 1997 and August 2003 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 1997 sale was for 45% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 45% below the HPI over time, until the August 2003 sale, where it rises to 7% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 7% below the HPI.

What might 5 THE TWITTEN be worth now?

5 THE TWITTEN might now be worth an estimated £393,953.

This is based on house price inflation of 138.8%, between August 2003 and February 2025, for semi-detached houses, in the Adur local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 138.8% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 5 THE TWITTEN of £165,000 on 22nd August 2003. For the value to have increased from £165,000 to £393,953 over the 22 years and six months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 5 THE TWITTEN has moved in line with the HPI for semi-detached houses in the Adur local authority area.
• The August 2003 sale price of £165,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of 5 THE TWITTEN has not materially changed since August 2003.
