16 DARENTH RISE 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 four 16 DARENTH RISE sales between September 2004 and May 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 December 2009 sale was for 12% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 12% below the HPI over time, until the May 2016 sale, where it falls to 30% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 30% below the HPI.

What might 16 DARENTH RISE be worth now?

16 DARENTH RISE might now be worth an estimated £372,292.

This is based on house price inflation of 37.9%, between May 2016 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 37.9% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 16 DARENTH RISE of £270,000 on 16th May 2016. For the value to have increased from £270,000 to £372,292 over the seven years and five months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 16 DARENTH RISE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Medway local authority area.
• The May 2016 sale price of £270,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of 16 DARENTH RISE has not materially changed since May 2016.
