MELVILLE HOUSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Ashford local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three MELVILLE HOUSE sales between August 1995 and April 2001 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 August 1999 sale was for 118% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 118% above the HPI over time, until the April 2001 sale, where it rises to 132% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 132% above the HPI.

What might MELVILLE HOUSE be worth now?

MELVILLE HOUSE might now be worth an estimated £1,306,098.

This is based on house price inflation of 226.5%, between April 2001 and February 2025, for detached houses, in the Ashford local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 226.5% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for MELVILLE HOUSE of £400,000 on 26th April 2001. For the value to have increased from £400,000 to £1,306,098 over the 24 years and two months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of MELVILLE HOUSE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Ashford local authority area.
• The April 2001 sale price of £400,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of MELVILLE HOUSE has not materially changed since April 2001.
