17 HOLMES CLOSE 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 four 17 HOLMES CLOSE sales between December 1998 and March 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 May 2007 sale was for 7% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 7% below the HPI over time, until the March 2024 sale, where it falls to 11% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 11% below the HPI.

What might 17 HOLMES CLOSE be worth now?

The 7.8% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 17 HOLMES CLOSE of £290,000 on 8th March 2024. For the value to have increased from £290,000 to £312,479 over the one year and one month to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 17 HOLMES CLOSE has moved in line with the HPI for semi-detached houses in the Medway local authority area.
• The March 2024 sale price of £290,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
