4 DUNCAN CLOSE 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 three 4 DUNCAN CLOSE sales between October 2000 and May 2011 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 2002 sale was for 5% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 5% below the HPI over time, until the May 2011 sale, where it falls to 10% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 10% below the HPI.

What might 4 DUNCAN CLOSE be worth now?

4 DUNCAN CLOSE might now be worth an estimated £495,594.

This is based on house price inflation of 77%, between May 2011 and December 2024, 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 77% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 4 DUNCAN CLOSE of £280,000 on 6th May 2011. For the value to have increased from £280,000 to £495,594 over the twelve years and five months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 4 DUNCAN CLOSE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Canterbury local authority area.
