THE VALE Sold Prices

Land registry data shows two sales for THE VALE since 1^st January 1995. The below table shows the price paid for the two sales, along with the average detached price in the Swale local authority area for the corresponding sale date. One of the two THE VALE sales was roughly equal to the average price, whilst the other was for above the average price. The average price is sourced from the Office for National Statistics' House Price Index (HPI).

2023 25 JAN	£490,000	£489,252	Close to HPI

THE VALE 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 two THE VALE sales from January 2001 and January 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 2001 sale was for 10% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 10% above the HPI over time, until the January 2023 sale, where it falls to roughly the same level as the HPI. The line then continues to track in line with the HPI.

What might THE VALE be worth now?

THE VALE might now be worth an estimated £475,188.

This is based on house price deflation of 3%, between January 2023 and February 2025, 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 3% deflationary decrease is applied to the most recent sale price for THE VALE of £490,000 on 25th January 2023. For the value to have decreased from £490,000 to £475,188 over the one year and eleven months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of THE VALE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Swale local authority area.
• The January 2023 sale price of £490,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of THE VALE has not materially changed since January 2023.
