DIVERTIMENTO 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 three DIVERTIMENTO sales between December 1995 and July 2015 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 September 2002 sale was for 22% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 22% above the HPI over time, until the July 2015 sale, where it falls to 4% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 4% below the HPI.

What might DIVERTIMENTO be worth now?

DIVERTIMENTO might now be worth an estimated £457,888.

This is based on house price inflation of 55.2%, between July 2015 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 55.2% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for DIVERTIMENTO of £295,000 on 22nd July 2015. For the value to have increased from £295,000 to £457,888 over the eight years and seven months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of DIVERTIMENTO has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Swale local authority area.
• The July 2015 sale price of £295,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of DIVERTIMENTO has not materially changed since July 2015.
