1A LONGHILL AVENUE 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 two 1A LONGHILL AVENUE sales from January 2003 and March 2016 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 January 2003 sale was for 3% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 3% above the HPI over time, until the March 2016 sale, where it falls to 32% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 32% below the HPI.

What might 1A LONGHILL AVENUE be worth now?

This is based on house price inflation of 42.5%, between March 2016 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 42.5% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 1A LONGHILL AVENUE of £255,000 on 14th March 2016. For the value to have increased from £255,000 to £363,369 over the seven years and three months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:
