17 BIRLING AVENUE 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 three 17 BIRLING AVENUE sales between January 1999 and August 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 October 2012 sale was for 13% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 13% above the HPI over time, until the August 2019 sale, where it falls to roughly the same level as the HPI. The line then continues to track in line with the HPI.

What might 17 BIRLING AVENUE be worth now?

This is based on house price inflation of 23.6%, between August 2019 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 23.6% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 17 BIRLING AVENUE of £435,000 on 23rd August 2019. For the value to have increased from £435,000 to £537,669 over the six years and six months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:
