22 BIRKHALL CLOSE 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 two 22 BIRKHALL CLOSE sales from December 2007 and July 2019 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 2007 sale was for 11% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 11% below the HPI over time, until the July 2019 sale, which was also at 11% below the HPI.

What might 22 BIRKHALL CLOSE be worth now?

22 BIRKHALL CLOSE might now be worth an estimated £309,078.

This is based on house price inflation of 23.6%, between July 2019 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 23.6% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 22 BIRKHALL CLOSE of £250,000 on 26th July 2019. For the value to have increased from £250,000 to £309,078 over the four years and seven months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 22 BIRKHALL CLOSE has moved in line with the HPI for semi-detached houses in the Medway local authority area.
• The July 2019 sale price of £250,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
