5 POND DRIVE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Swale local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three 5 POND DRIVE sales between April 1997 and September 2012 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 December 2009 sale was for 7% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 7% above the HPI over time, until the September 2012 sale, where it falls to roughly the same level as the HPI. The line then continues to track in line with the HPI.

What might 5 POND DRIVE be worth now?

5 POND DRIVE might now be worth an estimated £478,080.

This is based on house price inflation of 89.3%, between September 2012 and December 2024, for 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 89.3% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 5 POND DRIVE of £252,500 on 28th September 2012. For the value to have increased from £252,500 to £478,080 over the eleven years and nine months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 5 POND DRIVE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Swale local authority area.
