5 THE MEWS 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 THE MEWS sales from August 2007 and March 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 August 2007 sale was for 21% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 21% below the HPI over time, until the March 2012 sale, where it falls to 28% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 28% below the HPI.

What might 5 THE MEWS be worth now?

5 THE MEWS might now be worth an estimated £386,201.

This is based on house price inflation of 108.8%, between March 2012 and February 2025, for detached houses, in the Medway local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 108.8% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 5 THE MEWS of £185,000 on 23rd March 2012. For the value to have increased from £185,000 to £386,201 over the thirteen years and one month to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 5 THE MEWS has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Medway local authority area.
• The March 2012 sale price of £185,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of 5 THE MEWS has not materially changed since March 2012.
