26 THE BULRUSHES Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Ashford local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The four 26 THE BULRUSHES sales between July 1997 and May 2014 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 2012 sale was for 32% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 32% below the HPI over time, until the May 2014 sale, where it rises to 29% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 29% below the HPI.

What might 26 THE BULRUSHES be worth now?

This is based on house price inflation of 62.7%, between May 2014 and December 2024, for detached houses, in the Ashford local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 62.7% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 26 THE BULRUSHES of £240,000 on 6th May 2014. For the value to have increased from £240,000 to £390,565 over the nine years and five months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 26 THE BULRUSHES has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Ashford local authority area.
