7 THE VALE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Brighton and Hove local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three 7 THE VALE sales between March 1997 and November 2006 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 December 1999 sale was for 53% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 53% above the HPI over time, until the November 2006 sale, where it falls to 5% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 5% above the HPI.

What might 7 THE VALE be worth now?

7 THE VALE might now be worth an estimated £905,479.

This is based on house price inflation of 108.2%, between November 2006 and February 2025, for detached houses, in the Brighton and Hove local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 108.2% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 7 THE VALE of £435,000 on 10th November 2006. For the value to have increased from £435,000 to £905,479 over the nineteen years and nine months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 7 THE VALE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Brighton and Hove local authority area.
• The November 2006 sale price of £435,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of 7 THE VALE has not materially changed since November 2006.
