SEAFARING 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 four SEAFARING sales between June 2002 and May 2013 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 July 2009 sale was for 42% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 42% above the HPI over time, until the May 2013 sale, where it falls to 37% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 37% above the HPI.

What might SEAFARING be worth now?

SEAFARING might now be worth an estimated £689,571.

This is based on house price inflation of 76.8%, between May 2013 and February 2025, 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 76.8% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for SEAFARING of £390,000 on 13th May 2013. For the value to have increased from £390,000 to £689,571 over the twelve years and three months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of SEAFARING has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Dover local authority area.
• The May 2013 sale price of £390,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of SEAFARING has not materially changed since May 2013.
