SEA BREEZE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Thanet local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The five SEA BREEZE sales between October 1996 and October 2019 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 2007 sale was for 138% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 138% above the HPI over time, until the October 2019 sale, where it falls to 99% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 99% above the HPI.

What might SEA BREEZE be worth now?

SEA BREEZE might now be worth an estimated £974,105.

This is based on house price inflation of 20.1%, between October 2019 and February 2025, for detached houses, in the Thanet local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 20.1% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for SEA BREEZE of £811,000 on 28th October 2019. For the value to have increased from £811,000 to £974,105 over the six years and eight months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of SEA BREEZE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Thanet local authority area.
• The October 2019 sale price of £811,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of SEA BREEZE has not materially changed since October 2019.
