HIGHCROFT Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Adur local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two HIGHCROFT sales from August 2009 and October 2017 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 August 2009 sale was for 34% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 34% below the HPI over time, until the October 2017 sale, where it rises to 31% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 31% below the HPI.

What might HIGHCROFT be worth now?

HIGHCROFT might now be worth an estimated £432,505.

This is based on house price inflation of 20.8%, between October 2017 and August 2025, for 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 20.8% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for HIGHCROFT of £358,000 on 20th October 2017. For the value to have increased from £358,000 to £432,505 over the eight years and two months to August 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of HIGHCROFT has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Adur local authority area.
• The October 2017 sale price of £358,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of HIGHCROFT has not materially changed since October 2017.
