9 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 two 9 HERON CLOSE sales from February 1995 and March 2017 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 February 1995 sale was for 102% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 102% above the HPI over time, until the March 2017 sale, where it falls to 41% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 41% above the HPI.

What might 9 HERON CLOSE be worth now?

9 HERON CLOSE might now be worth an estimated £669,296.

This is based on house price inflation of 26.9%, between March 2017 and February 2025, for detached houses, in the Swale local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 26.9% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 9 HERON CLOSE of £527,500 on 14th March 2017. For the value to have increased from £527,500 to £669,296 over the eight years and one month to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 9 HERON CLOSE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Swale local authority area.
• The March 2017 sale price of £527,500 represented a fair market value for the property.
