HAVEN Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Canterbury local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The four HAVEN sales between September 1997 and April 2023 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 December 2017 sale was for 43% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 43% below the HPI over time, until the April 2023 sale, where it rises to 26% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 26% below the HPI.

What might HAVEN be worth now?

HAVEN might now be worth an estimated £408,604.

This is based on house price deflation of 4.2%, between April 2023 and December 2024, for detached houses, in the Canterbury local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 4.2% deflationary decrease is applied to the most recent sale price for HAVEN of £426,500 on 14th April 2023. For the value to have decreased from £426,500 to £408,604 over the four months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of HAVEN has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Canterbury local authority area.
• The April 2023 sale price of £426,500 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of HAVEN has not materially changed since April 2023.
