7 BARLOW CLOSE 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 7 BARLOW CLOSE sales from January 2000 and October 2009 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 January 2000 sale was for 11% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 11% above the HPI over time, until the October 2009 sale, where it falls to 7% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 7% below the HPI.

What might 7 BARLOW CLOSE be worth now?

This is based on house price inflation of 117.2%, between October 2009 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 117.2% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 7 BARLOW CLOSE of £230,000 on 9th October 2009. For the value to have increased from £230,000 to £499,620 over the sixteen years and eight months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 7 BARLOW CLOSE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Medway local authority area.
