1 THE POPLARS Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Ashford local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 1 THE POPLARS sales from October 2014 and October 2021 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 2014 sale was for 64% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 64% below the HPI over time, until the October 2021 sale, where it rises to 63% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 63% below the HPI.

What might 1 THE POPLARS be worth now?

1 THE POPLARS might now be worth an estimated £209,182.

This is based on house price inflation of 7.3%, between October 2021 and February 2025, for detached houses, in the Ashford local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 7.3% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 1 THE POPLARS of £195,000 on 29th October 2021. For the value to have increased from £195,000 to £209,182 over the four years and eight months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 1 THE POPLARS has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Ashford local authority area.
• The October 2021 sale price of £195,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of 1 THE POPLARS has not materially changed since October 2021.
