HERON HOUSE 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 two HERON HOUSE sales from November 2013 and October 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 November 2013 sale was for 78% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 78% above the HPI over time, until the October 2021 sale, where it rises to 85% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 85% above the HPI.

What might HERON HOUSE be worth now?

HERON HOUSE might now be worth an estimated £1,055,139.

This is based on house price inflation of 11.1%, between October 2021 and February 2025, 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 11.1% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for HERON HOUSE of £950,000 on 19th October 2021. For the value to have increased from £950,000 to £1,055,139 over the four years and eight months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of HERON HOUSE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Canterbury local authority area.
• The October 2021 sale price of £950,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of HERON HOUSE has not materially changed since October 2021.
