20 JOY LANE 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 five 20 JOY LANE sales between November 2004 and May 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 January 2020 sale was for 132% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 132% above the HPI over time, until the May 2024 sale, where it rises to 159% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 159% above the HPI.

What might 20 JOY LANE be worth now?

20 JOY LANE might now be worth an estimated £1,432,227.

This is based on house price inflation of 6.1%, between May 2024 and December 2024, 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 6.1% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 20 JOY LANE of £1,350,000 on 24th May 2024. For the value to have increased from £1,350,000 to £1,432,227 over the five months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 20 JOY LANE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Canterbury local authority area.
• The May 2024 sale price of £1,350,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
