18 GAINSBOROUGH DRIVE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Canterbury local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 18 GAINSBOROUGH DRIVE sales from December 2002 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 December 2002 sale was for 15% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 15% below the HPI over time, until the August 2024 sale, where it falls to 24% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 24% below the HPI.

What might 18 GAINSBOROUGH DRIVE be worth now?
