LENTON HOUSE 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 two LENTON HOUSE sales from January 1995 and November 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 January 1995 sale was for 32% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 32% below the HPI over time, until the November 2021 sale, where it rises to 19% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 19% above the HPI.

What might LENTON HOUSE be worth now?

LENTON HOUSE might now be worth an estimated £568,719.

This is based on house price inflation of 7.3%, between November 2021 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 7.3% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for LENTON HOUSE of £530,000 on 12th November 2021. For the value to have increased from £530,000 to £568,719 over the two years and eleven months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of LENTON HOUSE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Swale local authority area.

• The size, condition, and specification of LENTON HOUSE has not materially changed since November 2021.
