THE SQUIRRELS LODGE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Canterbury local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two THE SQUIRRELS LODGE sales from October 2002 and November 2005 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 October 2002 sale was for 27% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 27% above the HPI over time, until the November 2005 sale, where it rises to 29% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 29% above the HPI.

What might THE SQUIRRELS LODGE be worth now?

THE SQUIRRELS LODGE might now be worth an estimated £738,359.

This is based on house price inflation of 105.1%, between November 2005 and February 2025, for 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 105.1% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for THE SQUIRRELS LODGE of £360,000 on 23rd November 2005. For the value to have increased from £360,000 to £738,359 over the twenty years and nine months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of THE SQUIRRELS LODGE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Canterbury local authority area.
• The November 2005 sale price of £360,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of THE SQUIRRELS LODGE has not materially changed since November 2005.
