THE CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average terraced house price in the Worthing local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The four THE CLOSE sales between July 2001 and November 2011 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 2009 sale was for 38% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 38% above the HPI over time, until the November 2011 sale, where it falls to 35% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 35% above the HPI.

What might THE CLOSE be worth now?

THE CLOSE might now be worth an estimated £454,592.

This is based on house price inflation of 85.5%, between November 2011 and June 2025, for terraced houses, in the Worthing local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 85.5% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for THE CLOSE of £245,000 on 30th November 2011. For the value to have increased from £245,000 to £454,592 over the fourteen years and five months to June 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of THE CLOSE has moved in line with the HPI for terraced houses in the Worthing local authority area.
• The November 2011 sale price of £245,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of THE CLOSE has not materially changed since November 2011.
