15 BARLEYMOW CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Medway local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 15 BARLEYMOW CLOSE sales from August 1996 and April 1999 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 August 1996 sale was for 3% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 3% above the HPI over time, until the April 1999 sale, where it rises to 31% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 31% above the HPI.

What might 15 BARLEYMOW CLOSE be worth now?

15 BARLEYMOW CLOSE might now be worth an estimated £695,208.

This is based on house price inflation of 379.5%, between April 1999 and December 2024, for 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 379.5% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 15 BARLEYMOW CLOSE of £145,000 on 28th April 1999. For the value to have increased from £145,000 to £695,208 over the 24 years and four months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 15 BARLEYMOW CLOSE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Medway local authority area.
• The April 1999 sale price of £145,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
