21 RUGGLES CLOSE 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 three 21 RUGGLES CLOSE sales between February 1997 and March 2021 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 June 2001 sale was for 13% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 13% below the HPI over time, until the March 2021 sale, which was also at 13% below the HPI.

What might 21 RUGGLES CLOSE be worth now?

This is based on house price inflation of 16.7%, between March 2021 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 16.7% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 21 RUGGLES CLOSE of £395,000 on 19th March 2021. For the value to have increased from £395,000 to £460,823 over the two years and three months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:
