26 ESSEX GARDENS Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Thanet local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three 26 ESSEX GARDENS sales between August 1997 and April 2018 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 2011 sale was for 14% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 14% below the HPI over time, until the April 2018 sale, where it rises to 15% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 15% above the HPI.

What might 26 ESSEX GARDENS be worth now?

This is based on house price inflation of 25.4%, between April 2018 and February 2025, for detached houses, in the Thanet local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 25.4% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 26 ESSEX GARDENS of £450,000 on 20th April 2018. For the value to have increased from £450,000 to £564,487 over the seven years and two months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 26 ESSEX GARDENS has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Thanet local authority area.
• The April 2018 sale price of £450,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
