2 RUSH CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average semi-detached house price in the Medway local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The five 2 RUSH CLOSE sales between May 1995 and September 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 May 2004 sale was for 2% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 2% below the HPI over time, until the September 2024 sale, where it falls to 16% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 16% below the HPI.

What might 2 RUSH CLOSE be worth now?

2 RUSH CLOSE might now be worth an estimated £290,721.

This is based on house price inflation of 3.1%, between September 2024 and May 2026, for semi-detached houses, in the Medway local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 3.1% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 2 RUSH CLOSE of £282,000 on 27th September 2024. For the value to have increased from £282,000 to £290,721 over the two years and four months to May 2026, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 2 RUSH CLOSE has moved in line with the HPI for semi-detached houses in the Medway local authority area.
• The September 2024 sale price of £282,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of 2 RUSH CLOSE has not materially changed since September 2024.
