18 EDWARD DRIVE 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 three 18 EDWARD DRIVE sales between October 2002 and October 2017 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 2013 sale was for 15% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 15% above the HPI over time, until the October 2017 sale, where it rises to 27% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 27% above the HPI.

What might 18 EDWARD DRIVE be worth now?

18 EDWARD DRIVE might now be worth an estimated £422,487.

This is based on house price inflation of 30%, between October 2017 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 30% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 18 EDWARD DRIVE of £325,000 on 17th October 2017. For the value to have increased from £325,000 to £422,487 over the eight years and eight months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 18 EDWARD DRIVE has moved in line with the HPI for semi-detached houses in the Thanet local authority area.
• The October 2017 sale price of £325,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of 18 EDWARD DRIVE has not materially changed since October 2017.
