BELHAVEN 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 BELHAVEN sales from November 2002 and February 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 November 2002 sale roughly matched the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks in line HPI over time, until the February 2013 sale, which was also at roughly the same level as the HPI.

What might BELHAVEN be worth now?

BELHAVEN might now be worth an estimated £478,795.

This is based on house price inflation of 91.5%, between February 2013 and December 2024, 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 91.5% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for BELHAVEN of £250,000 on 22nd February 2013. For the value to have increased from £250,000 to £478,795 over the ten years and two months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of BELHAVEN has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Swale local authority area.
• The February 2013 sale price of £250,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of BELHAVEN has not materially changed since February 2013.
