20 ESSEX GARDENS Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Thanet local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The four 20 ESSEX GARDENS sales between June 1996 and November 2022 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 November 2016 sale was for 15% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 15% below the HPI over time, until the November 2022 sale, where it rises to 9% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 9% below the HPI.

What might 20 ESSEX GARDENS be worth now?

This is based on house price deflation of 7.8%, between November 2022 and February 2025, for 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 7.8% deflationary decrease is applied to the most recent sale price for 20 ESSEX GARDENS of £480,000 on 15th November 2022. For the value to have decreased from £480,000 to £442,786 over the three years and nine months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:
