The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Medway local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 26 LOVELACE CLOSE sales from June 2002 and August 2010 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 2002 sale was for 17% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 17% below the HPI over time, until the August 2010 sale, where it rises to 15% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 15% below the HPI.
26 LOVELACE CLOSE might now be worth an estimated £460,518.
This is based on house price inflation of 104.7%, between August 2010 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).
