ORCHARD LEA Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Dover local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two ORCHARD LEA sales from August 2018 and November 2022 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 2018 sale was for 91% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 91% above the HPI over time, until the November 2022 sale, where it rises to 103% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 103% above the HPI.

What might ORCHARD LEA be worth now?

ORCHARD LEA might now be worth an estimated £1,018,082.

This is based on house price deflation of 5.3%, between November 2022 and December 2024, for detached houses, in the Dover local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 5.3% deflationary decrease is applied to the most recent sale price for ORCHARD LEA of £1,075,000 on 29th November 2022. For the value to have decreased from £1,075,000 to £1,018,082 over the one year and eleven months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of ORCHARD LEA has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Dover local authority area.
• The November 2022 sale price of £1,075,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of ORCHARD LEA has not materially changed since November 2022.
