12 THE FORT Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average semi-detached house price in the Medway local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 12 THE FORT sales from October 2012 and August 2016 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 2012 sale was for 107% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 107% above the HPI over time, until the August 2016 sale, where it falls to 61% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 61% above the HPI.

What might 12 THE FORT be worth now?

12 THE FORT might now be worth an estimated £565,344.

This is based on house price inflation of 34.6%, between August 2016 and February 2025, for semi-detached houses, in the Medway local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 34.6% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 12 THE FORT of £420,000 on 3rd August 2016. For the value to have increased from £420,000 to £565,344 over the nine years and six months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 12 THE FORT has moved in line with the HPI for semi-detached houses in the Medway local authority area.
• The August 2016 sale price of £420,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
