79 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 79 LAMPLIGHTERS CLOSE sales from September 2002 and August 2012 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 September 2002 sale was for 65% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 65% above the HPI over time, until the August 2012 sale, where it falls to 46% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 46% above the HPI.

What might 79 LAMPLIGHTERS CLOSE be worth now?

This is based on house price inflation of 103.2%, between August 2012 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 103.2% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 79 LAMPLIGHTERS CLOSE of £382,500 on 24th August 2012. For the value to have increased from £382,500 to £777,204 over the eleven years and eight months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:
