42 PRIESTFIELDS 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 two 42 PRIESTFIELDS sales from September 1999 and December 2013 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 September 1999 sale was for 97% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 97% above the HPI over time, until the December 2013 sale, where it rises to 107% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 107% above the HPI.

What might 42 PRIESTFIELDS be worth now?

This is based on house price inflation of 88.6%, between December 2013 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 88.6% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 42 PRIESTFIELDS of £585,000 on 18th December 2013. For the value to have increased from £585,000 to £1,103,150 over the eleven years to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:
