BEGGARS BUSH Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Wealden local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two BEGGARS BUSH sales from October 2002 and September 2005 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 2002 sale was for 150% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 150% above the HPI over time, until the September 2005 sale, where it falls to 129% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 129% above the HPI.

What might BEGGARS BUSH be worth now?

BEGGARS BUSH might now be worth an estimated £1,385,929.

This is based on house price inflation of 81.9%, between September 2005 and February 2025, for detached houses, in the Wealden local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 81.9% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for BEGGARS BUSH of £762,000 on 13th September 2005. For the value to have increased from £762,000 to £1,385,929 over the twenty years and seven months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of BEGGARS BUSH has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Wealden local authority area.
• The September 2005 sale price of £762,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of BEGGARS BUSH has not materially changed since September 2005.
