What might LANTERN be worth now?

LANTERN might now be worth an estimated £427,021.

This is based on house price inflation of 393.7%, between December 1997 and May 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 393.7% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for LANTERN of £86,500 on 1st December 1997. For the value to have increased from £86,500 to £427,021 over the 29 years and seven months to May 2026, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of LANTERN has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Rother local authority area.
