9 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 two 9 MAJOR CLOSE sales from October 2003 and January 2006 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 October 2003 sale was for 11% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 11% below the HPI over time, until the January 2006 sale, which was also at 11% below the HPI.

What might 9 MAJOR CLOSE be worth now?

This is based on house price inflation of 107.2%, between January 2006 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 107.2% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 9 MAJOR CLOSE of £245,000 on 6th January 2006. For the value to have increased from £245,000 to £507,537 over the eighteen years and eleven months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 9 MAJOR CLOSE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Canterbury local authority area.
