11 FORGE LANE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Gravesham local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three 11 FORGE LANE sales between September 2001 and March 2008 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 June 2005 sale was for 36% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 36% below the HPI over time, until the March 2008 sale, where it rises to 11% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 11% below the HPI.

What might 11 FORGE LANE be worth now?

This is based on house price inflation of 80.7%, between March 2008 and February 2025, for detached houses, in the Gravesham local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 80.7% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 11 FORGE LANE of £310,000 on 10th March 2008. For the value to have increased from £310,000 to £560,212 over the seventeen years and one month to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:
