17 BRACKEN LEA Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average semi-detached house price in the Medway local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The six 17 BRACKEN LEA sales between January 1997 and August 2024 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 April 2021 sale was for 29% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 29% below the HPI over time, until the August 2024 sale, where it rises to 25% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 25% below the HPI.

What might 17 BRACKEN LEA be worth now?

17 BRACKEN LEA might now be worth an estimated £264,313.

This is based on house price inflation of 3.7%, between August 2024 and February 2025, for semi-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 3.7% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 17 BRACKEN LEA of £255,000 on 30th August 2024. For the value to have increased from £255,000 to £264,313 over the one year and six months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 17 BRACKEN LEA has moved in line with the HPI for semi-detached houses in the Medway local authority area.
• The August 2024 sale price of £255,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
