5 CHAUCER CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average semi-detached house price in the Canterbury local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three 5 CHAUCER CLOSE sales between August 2007 and November 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 September 2017 sale was for 6% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 6% below the HPI over time, until the November 2021 sale, where it falls to 21% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 21% below the HPI.

What might 5 CHAUCER CLOSE be worth now?

5 CHAUCER CLOSE might now be worth an estimated £284,509.

This is based on house price inflation of 7.4%, between November 2021 and December 2024, for semi-detached houses, in the Canterbury local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 7.4% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 5 CHAUCER CLOSE of £265,000 on 15th November 2021. For the value to have increased from £265,000 to £284,509 over the two years and eleven months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 5 CHAUCER CLOSE has moved in line with the HPI for semi-detached houses in the Canterbury local authority area.
• The November 2021 sale price of £265,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
