31 THE DOWNINGS Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Canterbury local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 31 THE DOWNINGS sales from June 2000 and March 2018 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 June 2000 sale was for 29% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 29% below the HPI over time, until the March 2018 sale, where it rises to 15% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 15% below the HPI.

What might 31 THE DOWNINGS be worth now?

This is based on house price inflation of 20.5%, between March 2018 and February 2025, for detached houses, in the Canterbury local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 20.5% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 31 THE DOWNINGS of £400,000 on 9th March 2018. For the value to have increased from £400,000 to £482,194 over the seven years and one month to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 31 THE DOWNINGS has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Canterbury local authority area.
• The March 2018 sale price of £400,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
