20 THE RIDGEWAY 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 20 THE RIDGEWAY sales from September 2010 and July 2020 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 2010 sale was for 41% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 41% above the HPI over time, until the July 2020 sale, where it rises to 94% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 94% above the HPI.

What might 20 THE RIDGEWAY be worth now?

This is based on house price inflation of 21.7%, between July 2020 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 21.7% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 20 THE RIDGEWAY of £848,500 on 1st July 2020. For the value to have increased from £848,500 to £1,032,352 over the three years and seven months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The July 2020 sale price of £848,500 represented a fair market value for the property.
