3 ESSEX GARDENS Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average semi-detached house price in the Thanet local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The four 3 ESSEX GARDENS sales between April 2006 and March 2016 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 November 2012 sale was for 14% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 14% above the HPI over time, until the March 2016 sale, where it rises to 21% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 21% above the HPI.

What might 3 ESSEX GARDENS be worth now?

3 ESSEX GARDENS might now be worth an estimated £401,395.

This is based on house price inflation of 52.6%, between March 2016 and February 2025, for semi-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 52.6% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 3 ESSEX GARDENS of £263,000 on 30th March 2016. For the value to have increased from £263,000 to £401,395 over the nine years and one month to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 3 ESSEX GARDENS has moved in line with the HPI for semi-detached houses in the Thanet local authority area.
• The March 2016 sale price of £263,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of 3 ESSEX GARDENS has not materially changed since March 2016.
