17 ALPHA ROAD Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average semi-detached house price in the Thanet local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The four 17 ALPHA ROAD sales between April 2000 and October 2019 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 2014 sale was for 40% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 40% above the HPI over time, until the October 2019 sale, where it rises to 59% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 59% above the HPI.

What might 17 ALPHA ROAD be worth now?

17 ALPHA ROAD might now be worth an estimated £530,070.

This is based on house price inflation of 21.9%, between October 2019 and February 2025, for semi-detached houses, in the Thanet local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 21.9% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 17 ALPHA ROAD of £435,000 on 22nd October 2019. For the value to have increased from £435,000 to £530,070 over the six years and eight months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 17 ALPHA ROAD has moved in line with the HPI for semi-detached houses in the Thanet local authority area.
• The October 2019 sale price of £435,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
