6B FORGE LANE 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 two 6B FORGE LANE sales from February 1997 and May 2003 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 February 1997 sale was for 41% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 41% below the HPI over time, until the May 2003 sale, where it rises to 33% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 33% below the HPI.

What might 6B FORGE LANE be worth now?

6B FORGE LANE might now be worth an estimated £245,928.

This is based on house price inflation of 158.9%, between May 2003 and February 2025, 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 158.9% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 6B FORGE LANE of £95,000 on 21st May 2003. For the value to have increased from £95,000 to £245,928 over the 22 years and three months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:
