THE HAZELS Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Swale local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two THE HAZELS sales from April 2001 and April 2016 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 April 2001 sale was for 59% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 59% above the HPI over time, until the April 2016 sale, where it falls to 23% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 23% above the HPI.

What might THE HAZELS be worth now?

THE HAZELS might now be worth an estimated £590,241.

This is based on house price inflation of 40.5%, between April 2016 and December 2024, for detached houses, in the Swale local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 40.5% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for THE HAZELS of £420,000 on 29th April 2016. For the value to have increased from £420,000 to £590,241 over the seven years and four months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of THE HAZELS has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Swale local authority area.
• The April 2016 sale price of £420,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of THE HAZELS has not materially changed since April 2016.
