THE LAURELS Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Gravesham local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three THE LAURELS sales between June 2004 and February 2024 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 2005 sale was for 133% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 133% above the HPI over time, until the February 2024 sale, where it falls to 79% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 79% above the HPI.

What might THE LAURELS be worth now?

THE LAURELS might now be worth an estimated £1,128,905.

This is based on house price inflation of 2.6%, between February 2024 and December 2024, for detached houses, in the Gravesham local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 2.6% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for THE LAURELS of £1,100,000 on 16th February 2024. For the value to have increased from £1,100,000 to £1,128,905 over the two months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of THE LAURELS has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Gravesham local authority area.
• The February 2024 sale price of £1,100,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of THE LAURELS has not materially changed since February 2024.
