5 NIVEN CLOSE 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 two 5 NIVEN CLOSE sales from December 1998 and January 2025 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 1998 sale was for 28% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 28% above the HPI over time, until the January 2025 sale, where it falls to 1% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 1% below the HPI.

What might 5 NIVEN CLOSE be worth now?

5 NIVEN CLOSE might now be worth an estimated £532,766.

This is based on house price inflation of 0.5%, between January 2025 and February 2025, 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 0.5% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 5 NIVEN CLOSE of £530,000 on 31st January 2025. For the value to have increased from £530,000 to £532,766 over the eleven months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 5 NIVEN CLOSE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Medway local authority area.
• The January 2025 sale price of £530,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
