7 ORCHARD CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Dover local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The five 7 ORCHARD CLOSE sales between April 1996 and July 2013 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 April 2010 sale was for 24% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 24% below the HPI over time, until the July 2013 sale, where it rises to 13% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 13% below the HPI.

What might 7 ORCHARD CLOSE be worth now?

7 ORCHARD CLOSE might now be worth an estimated £435,889.

This is based on house price inflation of 81.6%, between July 2013 and February 2025, for detached houses, in the Dover local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 81.6% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 7 ORCHARD CLOSE of £240,000 on 24th July 2013. For the value to have increased from £240,000 to £435,889 over the twelve years and five months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

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