2 READING CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Dover local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 2 READING CLOSE sales from November 2008 and September 2021 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 November 2008 sale was for 42% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 42% below the HPI over time, until the September 2021 sale, where it rises to 31% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 31% below the HPI.

What might 2 READING CLOSE be worth now?

2 READING CLOSE might now be worth an estimated £332,375.

This is based on house price inflation of 5.5%, between September 2021 and June 2025, for detached houses, in the Dover local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 5.5% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 2 READING CLOSE of £315,000 on 6th September 2021. For the value to have increased from £315,000 to £332,375 over the four years and three months to June 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 2 READING CLOSE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Dover local authority area.
• The September 2021 sale price of £315,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of 2 READING CLOSE has not materially changed since September 2021.
