THE LODGE 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 two THE LODGE sales from April 2003 and March 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 2003 sale was for 79% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 79% above the HPI over time, until the March 2016 sale, where it rises to 95% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 95% above the HPI.

What might THE LODGE be worth now?

THE LODGE might now be worth an estimated £955,131.

This is based on house price inflation of 50.4%, between March 2016 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 50.4% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for THE LODGE of £635,000 on 30th March 2016. For the value to have increased from £635,000 to £955,131 over the nine years and one month to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of THE LODGE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Thanet local authority area.
• The March 2016 sale price of £635,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of THE LODGE has not materially changed since March 2016.
