1 THE DOWNINGS 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 four 1 THE DOWNINGS sales between May 1997 and June 2005 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 February 2005 sale was for 27% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 27% below the HPI over time, until the June 2005 sale, where it falls to 30% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 30% below the HPI.

What might 1 THE DOWNINGS be worth now?

1 THE DOWNINGS might now be worth an estimated £400,560.

This is based on house price inflation of 107.5%, between June 2005 and February 2025, 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 107.5% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 1 THE DOWNINGS of £193,000 on 30th June 2005. For the value to have increased from £193,000 to £400,560 over the twenty years and four months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 1 THE DOWNINGS has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Canterbury local authority area.
• The June 2005 sale price of £193,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of 1 THE DOWNINGS has not materially changed since June 2005.
