6 FORD CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Canterbury local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 6 FORD CLOSE sales from July 2015 and January 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 July 2015 sale was for 62% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 62% below the HPI over time, until the January 2021 sale, where it rises to 44% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 44% below the HPI.

What might 6 FORD CLOSE be worth now?

6 FORD CLOSE might now be worth an estimated £322,253.

This is based on house price inflation of 11.1%, between January 2021 and February 2025, for 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 11.1% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 6 FORD CLOSE of £290,000 on 15th January 2021. For the value to have increased from £290,000 to £322,253 over the three years and eleven months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 6 FORD CLOSE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Canterbury local authority area.
