26 LONGLEY ROAD Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Medway local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three 26 LONGLEY ROAD sales between August 2020 and April 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 December 2022 sale was for 11% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 11% above the HPI over time, until the April 2024 sale, where it rises to 308% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 308% above the HPI.

What might 26 LONGLEY ROAD be worth now?

26 LONGLEY ROAD might now be worth an estimated £2,143,979.

This is based on house price inflation of 5.8%, between April 2024 and May 2026, for 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 5.8% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 26 LONGLEY ROAD of £2,027,000 on 5th April 2024. For the value to have increased from £2,027,000 to £2,143,979 over the one year and eleven months to May 2026, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 26 LONGLEY ROAD has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Medway local authority area.
• The April 2024 sale price of £2,027,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
