17 KEMPTON CLOSE 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 KEMPTON CLOSE sales between May 2002 and March 2014 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 2006 sale was for 15% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 15% below the HPI over time, until the March 2014 sale, where it falls to 20% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 20% below the HPI.

What might 17 KEMPTON CLOSE be worth now?

This is based on house price inflation of 82.2%, between March 2014 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 82.2% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 17 KEMPTON CLOSE of £235,000 on 21st March 2014. For the value to have increased from £235,000 to £428,285 over the nine years and three months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 17 KEMPTON CLOSE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Medway local authority area.
• The March 2014 sale price of £235,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
