THE ORCHID 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 four THE ORCHID sales between July 2009 and March 2023 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 January 2020 sale was for 20% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 20% below the HPI over time, until the March 2023 sale, which was also at 20% below the HPI.

What might THE ORCHID be worth now?

THE ORCHID might now be worth an estimated £383,938.

This is based on house price deflation of 0.3%, between March 2023 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 0.3% deflationary decrease is applied to the most recent sale price for THE ORCHID of £385,000 on 16th March 2023. For the value to have decreased from £385,000 to £383,938 over the three months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of THE ORCHID has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Swale local authority area.
• The March 2023 sale price of £385,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of THE ORCHID has not materially changed since March 2023.
