8 MAJOR CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Canterbury local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The four 8 MAJOR CLOSE sales between August 2003 and January 2019 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 June 2015 sale was for 8% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 8% below the HPI over time, until the January 2019 sale, where it rises to 4% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 4% below the HPI.

What might 8 MAJOR CLOSE be worth now?

8 MAJOR CLOSE might now be worth an estimated £549,972.

This is based on house price inflation of 17%, between January 2019 and February 2025, for detached houses, in the Canterbury local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 17% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 8 MAJOR CLOSE of £470,000 on 4th January 2019. For the value to have increased from £470,000 to £549,972 over the five years and eleven months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 8 MAJOR CLOSE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Canterbury local authority area.
• The January 2019 sale price of £470,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of 8 MAJOR CLOSE has not materially changed since January 2019.
