3 THE LAPWINGS Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Gravesham local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three 3 THE LAPWINGS sales between August 1997 and March 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 November 2004 sale was for 4% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 4% above the HPI over time, until the March 2020 sale, where it falls to 5% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 5% below the HPI.

What might 3 THE LAPWINGS be worth now?

3 THE LAPWINGS might now be worth an estimated £595,780.

This is based on house price inflation of 19.2%, between March 2020 and December 2024, for detached houses, in the Gravesham local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 19.2% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 3 THE LAPWINGS of £500,000 on 20th March 2020. For the value to have increased from £500,000 to £595,780 over the three years and three months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 3 THE LAPWINGS has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Gravesham local authority area.
• The March 2020 sale price of £500,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
