26 HIGHAM ROAD 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 two 26 HIGHAM ROAD sales from June 2014 and June 2024 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 2014 sale was for 7% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 7% below the HPI over time, until the June 2024 sale, where it falls to 10% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 10% below the HPI.

What might 26 HIGHAM ROAD be worth now?

This is based on house price inflation of 7.8%, between June 2024 and February 2025, 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 7.8% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 26 HIGHAM ROAD of £450,000 on 18th June 2024. For the value to have increased from £450,000 to £484,946 over the one year and four months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:
