GARDENIA 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 GARDENIA sales between September 1997 and December 2009 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 17% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 17% above the HPI over time, until the December 2009 sale, where it rises to 19% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 19% above the HPI.

What might GARDENIA be worth now?

GARDENIA might now be worth an estimated £571,908.

This is based on house price inflation of 97.2%, between December 2009 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 97.2% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for GARDENIA of £290,000 on 7th December 2009. For the value to have increased from £290,000 to £571,908 over the fifteen years to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of GARDENIA has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Swale local authority area.
• The December 2009 sale price of £290,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of GARDENIA has not materially changed since December 2009.
