10 DOWNS CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Swale local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three 10 DOWNS CLOSE sales between June 1997 and July 2006 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 2002 sale was for 4% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 4% below the HPI over time, until the July 2006 sale, where it rises to 1% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 1% below the HPI.

What might 10 DOWNS CLOSE be worth now?

The 89.7% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 10 DOWNS CLOSE of £249,995 on 6th July 2006. For the value to have increased from £249,995 to £474,262 over the seventeen years and seven months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:
