20 WATSON AVENUE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average semi-detached house price in the Medway local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three 20 WATSON AVENUE sales between December 1995 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 December 2004 sale was for 4% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 4% above the HPI over time, until the March 2016 sale, where it falls to 7% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 7% below the HPI.

What might 20 WATSON AVENUE be worth now?

20 WATSON AVENUE might now be worth an estimated £324,074.

This is based on house price inflation of 44.7%, between March 2016 and December 2024, for semi-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 44.7% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 20 WATSON AVENUE of £224,000 on 31st March 2016. For the value to have increased from £224,000 to £324,074 over the seven years and three months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 20 WATSON AVENUE has moved in line with the HPI for semi-detached houses in the Medway local authority area.
• The March 2016 sale price of £224,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of 20 WATSON AVENUE has not materially changed since March 2016.
