3 BIRKHALL CLOSE 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 three 3 BIRKHALL CLOSE sales between May 2000 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 March 2003 sale was for 6% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 6% above the HPI over time, until the May 2014 sale, where it falls to 5% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 5% below the HPI.

What might 3 BIRKHALL CLOSE be worth now?

3 BIRKHALL CLOSE might now be worth an estimated £505,207.

This is based on house price inflation of 78.5%, between May 2014 and December 2024, 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 78.5% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 3 BIRKHALL CLOSE of £283,000 on 21st May 2014. For the value to have increased from £283,000 to £505,207 over the nine years and five months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:
