42 SCOTBY AVENUE 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 four 42 SCOTBY AVENUE sales between March 2000 and October 2015 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 2011 sale was for 24% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 24% below the HPI over time, until the October 2015 sale, where it falls to 28% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 28% below the HPI.

What might 42 SCOTBY AVENUE be worth now?

This is based on house price inflation of 50.9%, between October 2015 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 50.9% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 42 SCOTBY AVENUE of £254,000 on 23rd October 2015. For the value to have increased from £254,000 to £383,270 over the eight years and ten months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:
