78 LAMPLIGHTERS 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 78 LAMPLIGHTERS CLOSE sales from November 1996 and January 2023 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 November 1996 sale was for 82% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 82% above the HPI over time, until the January 2023 sale, where it falls to 35% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 35% above the HPI.

What might 78 LAMPLIGHTERS CLOSE be worth now?

This is based on house price deflation of 1%, between January 2023 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 1% deflationary decrease is applied to the most recent sale price for 78 LAMPLIGHTERS CLOSE of £735,000 on 25th January 2023. For the value to have decreased from £735,000 to £727,740 over the one year and eleven months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:
