9 WILKS CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average semi-detached house price in the Swale local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The five 9 WILKS CLOSE sales between May 1998 and May 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 January 2007 sale was for 10% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 10% above the HPI over time, until the May 2013 sale, where it rises to 13% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 13% above the HPI.

What might 9 WILKS CLOSE be worth now?

This is based on house price inflation of 85.8%, between May 2013 and December 2024, for semi-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 85.8% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 9 WILKS CLOSE of £195,500 on 28th May 2013. For the value to have increased from £195,500 to £363,297 over the ten years and five months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:
