15 HARTPIECE 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 HARTPIECE CLOSE sales from February 2008 and September 2013 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 February 2008 sale was for 39% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 39% below the HPI over time, until the September 2013 sale, where it rises to 29% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 29% below the HPI.

What might 15 HARTPIECE CLOSE be worth now?

This is based on house price inflation of 93.2%, between September 2013 and February 2025, 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 93.2% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 15 HARTPIECE CLOSE of £198,000 on 3rd September 2013. For the value to have increased from £198,000 to £382,531 over the twelve years and seven months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:
