3 SCARLETT 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 SCARLETT CLOSE sales between May 2015 and October 2020 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 May 2019 sale was for 7% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 7% below the HPI over time, until the October 2020 sale, where it rises to 3% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 3% above the HPI.

What might 3 SCARLETT CLOSE be worth now?

3 SCARLETT CLOSE might now be worth an estimated £546,426.

This is based on house price inflation of 17.5%, between October 2020 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 17.5% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 3 SCARLETT CLOSE of £465,000 on 6th October 2020. For the value to have increased from £465,000 to £546,426 over the three years and ten months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 3 SCARLETT CLOSE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Medway local authority area.
• The October 2020 sale price of £465,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
