1 JOY LANE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Canterbury local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 1 JOY LANE sales from January 1998 and May 2002 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 January 1998 sale was for 1% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 1% above the HPI over time, until the May 2002 sale, where it rises to 36% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 36% above the HPI.

What might 1 JOY LANE be worth now?

1 JOY LANE might now be worth an estimated £751,673.

This is based on house price inflation of 200.7%, between May 2002 and December 2024, for detached houses, in the Canterbury local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 200.7% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 1 JOY LANE of £250,000 on 14th May 2002. For the value to have increased from £250,000 to £751,673 over the 21 years and five months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 1 JOY LANE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Canterbury local authority area.
• The May 2002 sale price of £250,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of 1 JOY LANE has not materially changed since May 2002.
