5 BIRKDALE CLOSE 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 four 5 BIRKDALE CLOSE sales between December 1999 and July 2010 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 August 2007 sale was for 42% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 42% above the HPI over time, until the July 2010 sale, where it rises to 56% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 56% above the HPI.

What might 5 BIRKDALE CLOSE be worth now?

5 BIRKDALE CLOSE might now be worth an estimated £891,831.

This is based on house price inflation of 82%, between July 2010 and February 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 82% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 5 BIRKDALE CLOSE of £490,000 on 1st July 2010. For the value to have increased from £490,000 to £891,831 over the fifteen years and five months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 5 BIRKDALE CLOSE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Canterbury local authority area.
• The July 2010 sale price of £490,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of 5 BIRKDALE CLOSE has not materially changed since July 2010.
