WESTCROFT 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 WESTCROFT sales from May 2007 and June 2022 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 May 2007 sale was for 35% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 35% above the HPI over time, until the June 2022 sale, where it rises to 56% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 56% above the HPI.

What might WESTCROFT be worth now?

WESTCROFT might now be worth an estimated £979,474.

This is based on house price inflation of 2%, between June 2022 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 2% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for WESTCROFT of £960,000 on 30th June 2022. For the value to have increased from £960,000 to £979,474 over the two years and ten months to August 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of WESTCROFT has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Adur local authority area.
• The June 2022 sale price of £960,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of WESTCROFT has not materially changed since June 2022.
