42 THE FORT 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 THE FORT sales from February 2013 and January 2019 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 February 2013 sale was for 55% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 55% above the HPI over time, until the January 2019 sale, where it falls to 24% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 24% above the HPI.

What might 42 THE FORT be worth now?
