7 BRACKEN LEA 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 three 7 BRACKEN LEA sales between December 1999 and June 2016 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 December 2000 sale was for 8% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 8% below the HPI over time, until the June 2016 sale, where it falls to 21% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 21% below the HPI.

What might 7 BRACKEN LEA be worth now?

7 BRACKEN LEA might now be worth an estimated £418,208.

This is based on house price inflation of 34.9%, between June 2016 and December 2024, 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 34.9% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 7 BRACKEN LEA of £310,000 on 13th June 2016. For the value to have increased from £310,000 to £418,208 over the seven years and six months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 7 BRACKEN LEA has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Medway local authority area.
• The June 2016 sale price of £310,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
