ELMSCROFT Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Gravesham local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two ELMSCROFT sales from October 2001 and September 2016 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 2001 sale was for 61% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 61% above the HPI over time, until the September 2016 sale, where it falls to 24% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 24% above the HPI.

What might ELMSCROFT be worth now?

ELMSCROFT might now be worth an estimated £782,690.

This is based on house price inflation of 25.9%, between September 2016 and December 2024, for detached houses, in the Gravesham local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 25.9% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for ELMSCROFT of £621,750 on 22nd September 2016. For the value to have increased from £621,750 to £782,690 over the seven years and nine months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of ELMSCROFT has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Gravesham local authority area.
• The September 2016 sale price of £621,750 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of ELMSCROFT has not materially changed since September 2016.
