3 SMUGGLERS WAY Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Thanet local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The four 3 SMUGGLERS WAY sales between February 1998 and January 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 August 2012 sale was for 10% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 10% below the HPI over time, until the January 2020 sale, where it falls to 12% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 12% below the HPI.

What might 3 SMUGGLERS WAY be worth now?

3 SMUGGLERS WAY might now be worth an estimated £431,515.

This is based on house price inflation of 21.2%, between January 2020 and February 2025, for 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 21.2% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 3 SMUGGLERS WAY of £356,000 on 10th January 2020. For the value to have increased from £356,000 to £431,515 over the four years and eleven months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 3 SMUGGLERS WAY has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Thanet local authority area.
• The January 2020 sale price of £356,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of 3 SMUGGLERS WAY has not materially changed since January 2020.
