8 OLD WARDSDOWN Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Rother local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 8 OLD WARDSDOWN sales from June 1996 and October 2016 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 1996 sale was for 56% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 56% above the HPI over time, until the October 2016 sale, where it falls to 20% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 20% above the HPI.

What might 8 OLD WARDSDOWN be worth now?

This is based on house price inflation of 36%, between October 2016 and March 2026, for detached houses, in the Rother local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 36% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 8 OLD WARDSDOWN of £499,500 on 5th October 2016. For the value to have increased from £499,500 to £679,259 over the ten years and seven months to March 2026, the following assumptions must hold true:
