1 BUMBLES CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Medway local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 1 BUMBLES CLOSE sales from November 1999 and November 2023 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 November 1999 sale was for 32% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 32% above the HPI over time, until the November 2023 sale, where it falls to 10% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 10% below the HPI.

What might 1 BUMBLES CLOSE be worth now?

This is based on house price inflation of 2%, between November 2023 and February 2025, for detached houses, in the Medway 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 1 BUMBLES CLOSE of £475,000 on 30th November 2023. For the value to have increased from £475,000 to £484,451 over the two years and nine months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:
