23 HOWLSMERE 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 four 23 HOWLSMERE CLOSE sales between October 1997 and January 2007 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 October 2004 sale was for 26% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 26% above the HPI over time, until the January 2007 sale, which was also at 26% above the HPI.

What might 23 HOWLSMERE CLOSE be worth now?

23 HOWLSMERE CLOSE might now be worth an estimated £437,797.

This is based on house price inflation of 94.6%, between January 2007 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 94.6% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 23 HOWLSMERE CLOSE of £225,000 on 26th January 2007. For the value to have increased from £225,000 to £437,797 over the sixteen years and one month to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 23 HOWLSMERE CLOSE has moved in line with the HPI for semi-detached houses in the Medway local authority area.
• The January 2007 sale price of £225,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
