TUMBLE DOWN 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 three TUMBLE DOWN sales between March 2003 and July 2013 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 June 2008 sale was for 10% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 10% above the HPI over time, until the July 2013 sale, where it falls to 3% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 3% below the HPI.

What might TUMBLE DOWN be worth now?

TUMBLE DOWN might now be worth an estimated £462,175.

This is based on house price inflation of 88.6%, between July 2013 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 88.6% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for TUMBLE DOWN of £245,000 on 9th July 2013. For the value to have increased from £245,000 to £462,175 over the ten years and seven months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of TUMBLE DOWN has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Swale local authority area.
• The July 2013 sale price of £245,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of TUMBLE DOWN has not materially changed since July 2013.
