The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Dartford local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three 256 SHEPHERDS LANE sales between August 1996 and July 2012 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 January 2007 sale was for 33% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 33% above the HPI over time, until the July 2012 sale, where it rises to 79% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 79% above the HPI.
256 SHEPHERDS LANE might now be worth an estimated £1,239,807.
