5 CHALLENGER CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average semi-detached house price in the Swale local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three 5 CHALLENGER CLOSE sales between October 1998 and August 2016 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 April 2005 sale was for 23% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 23% below the HPI over time, until the August 2016 sale, where it rises to 10% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 10% below the HPI.

What might 5 CHALLENGER CLOSE be worth now?

5 CHALLENGER CLOSE might now be worth an estimated £286,118.

This is based on house price inflation of 36.2%, between August 2016 and February 2025, for semi-detached houses, in the Swale local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 36.2% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 5 CHALLENGER CLOSE of £210,000 on 17th August 2016. For the value to have increased from £210,000 to £286,118 over the nine years and six months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 5 CHALLENGER CLOSE has moved in line with the HPI for semi-detached houses in the Swale local authority area.
• The August 2016 sale price of £210,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
