8 HERON CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Swale local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three 8 HERON CLOSE sales between December 1997 and February 2021 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 2017 sale was for 38% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 38% above the HPI over time, until the February 2021 sale, where it rises to 44% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 44% above the HPI.

What might 8 HERON CLOSE be worth now?

The 13.6% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 8 HERON CLOSE of £600,000 on 12th February 2021. For the value to have increased from £600,000 to £681,522 over the four years to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 8 HERON CLOSE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Swale local authority area.
