PEAR TREES 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 PEAR TREES sales from May 1995 and October 2002 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 May 1995 sale was for 53% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 53% above the HPI over time, until the October 2002 sale, where it falls to 50% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 50% above the HPI.

What might PEAR TREES be worth now?

PEAR TREES might now be worth an estimated £857,991.

This is based on house price inflation of 168.1%, between October 2002 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 168.1% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for PEAR TREES of £320,000 on 14th October 2002. For the value to have increased from £320,000 to £857,991 over the 23 years and eight months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of PEAR TREES has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Canterbury local authority area.
• The October 2002 sale price of £320,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of PEAR TREES has not materially changed since October 2002.
