18A PRINCESS CLOSE 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 four 18A PRINCESS CLOSE sales between March 2017 and July 2023 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 September 2021 sale was for 5% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 5% above the HPI over time, until the July 2023 sale, where it falls to 2% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 2% below the HPI.

What might 18A PRINCESS CLOSE be worth now?

18A PRINCESS CLOSE might now be worth an estimated £556,690.

This is based on house price inflation of 6%, between July 2023 and February 2025, for detached houses, in the Canterbury local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 6% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 18A PRINCESS CLOSE of £525,000 on 25th July 2023. For the value to have increased from £525,000 to £556,690 over the two years and five months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 18A PRINCESS CLOSE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Canterbury local authority area.
