5 ABBOTTS CLOSE 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 5 ABBOTTS CLOSE sales from May 1996 and April 2021 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 May 1996 sale was for 112% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 112% above the HPI over time, until the April 2021 sale, where it falls to 33% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 33% above the HPI.

What might 5 ABBOTTS CLOSE be worth now?
