5 THE FIELDINGS 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 two 5 THE FIELDINGS sales from May 1996 and October 2000 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 9% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 9% above the HPI over time, until the October 2000 sale, where it rises to 18% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 18% above the HPI.

What might 5 THE FIELDINGS be worth now?

This is based on house price inflation of 249.2%, between October 2000 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 249.2% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 5 THE FIELDINGS of £162,500 on 12th October 2000. For the value to have increased from £162,500 to £567,413 over the 23 years and ten months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:
