THE OSPREY Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average semi-detached house price in the Canterbury local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The five THE OSPREY sales between August 1998 and June 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 March 2018 sale was for 20% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 20% below the HPI over time, until the June 2024 sale, where it rises to 2% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 2% below the HPI.

What might THE OSPREY be worth now?

THE OSPREY might now be worth an estimated £360,289.

This is based on house price inflation of 6%, between June 2024 and February 2025, for semi-detached houses, in the Canterbury local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 6% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for THE OSPREY of £340,000 on 5th June 2024. For the value to have increased from £340,000 to £360,289 over the one year and four months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of THE OSPREY has moved in line with the HPI for semi-detached houses in the Canterbury local authority area.
• The June 2024 sale price of £340,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of THE OSPREY has not materially changed since June 2024.
