HEY TOR 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 five HEY TOR sales between February 1998 and April 2017 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 April 2006 sale was for 2% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 2% above the HPI over time, until the April 2017 sale, where it rises to 9% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 9% above the HPI.

What might HEY TOR be worth now?

HEY TOR might now be worth an estimated £621,391.

This is based on house price inflation of 25.5%, between April 2017 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 25.5% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for HEY TOR of £495,000 on 21st April 2017. For the value to have increased from £495,000 to £621,391 over the eight years and two months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of HEY TOR has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Canterbury local authority area.
• The April 2017 sale price of £495,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of HEY TOR has not materially changed since April 2017.
