BLOOMFIELD 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 four BLOOMFIELD sales between May 1996 and March 2021 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 2010 sale was for 10% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 10% below the HPI over time, until the March 2021 sale, where it rises to 9% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 9% above the HPI.

What might BLOOMFIELD be worth now?

BLOOMFIELD might now be worth an estimated £522,073.

This is based on house price inflation of 16%, between March 2021 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 16% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for BLOOMFIELD of £450,000 on 4th March 2021. For the value to have increased from £450,000 to £522,073 over the two years and three months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of BLOOMFIELD has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Swale local authority area.
• The March 2021 sale price of £450,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of BLOOMFIELD has not materially changed since March 2021.
