3 NIGHTINGALE 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 four 3 NIGHTINGALE CLOSE sales between February 1998 and May 2015 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 2012 sale was for 8% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 8% below the HPI over time, until the May 2015 sale, where it falls to 21% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 21% below the HPI.

What might 3 NIGHTINGALE CLOSE be worth now?

This is based on house price inflation of 62.2%, between May 2015 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 62.2% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 3 NIGHTINGALE CLOSE of £260,000 on 1st May 2015. For the value to have increased from £260,000 to £421,705 over the eight years and five months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:
