The below graph shows the average semi-detached house price in the Canterbury local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 8 WEST CLIFF sales from July 2005 and August 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 July 2005 sale was for 33% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 33% above the HPI over time, until the August 2013 sale, where it rises to 76% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 76% above the HPI.
8 WEST CLIFF might now be worth an estimated £649,258.
This is based on house price inflation of 70.9%, between August 2013 and February 2025, for semi-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 70.9% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 8 WEST CLIFF of £380,000 on 12th August 2013. For the value to have increased from £380,000 to £649,258 over the twelve years and six months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:
