38 LONGTYE DRIVE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Canterbury local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 38 LONGTYE DRIVE sales from May 1995 and July 1999 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 1995 sale was for 19% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 19% below the HPI over time, until the July 1999 sale, where it rises to 10% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 10% below the HPI.

What might 38 LONGTYE DRIVE be worth now?

This is based on house price inflation of 346.4%, between July 1999 and June 2025, for detached houses, in the Canterbury local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 346.4% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 38 LONGTYE DRIVE of £108,000 on 9th July 1999. For the value to have increased from £108,000 to £482,101 over the 26 years and one month to June 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:
