5 ROMNEY CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average semi-detached house price in the Thanet local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 5 ROMNEY CLOSE sales from September 2007 and December 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 September 2007 sale was for 3% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 3% above the HPI over time, until the December 2024 sale, where it falls to 19% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 19% below the HPI.

What might 5 ROMNEY CLOSE be worth now?

5 ROMNEY CLOSE might now be worth an estimated £264,760.

This is based on house price deflation of 1.2%, between December 2024 and May 2026, for semi-detached houses, in the Thanet local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 1.2% deflationary decrease is applied to the most recent sale price for 5 ROMNEY CLOSE of £268,000 on 18th December 2024. For the value to have decreased from £268,000 to £264,760 over the two years and seven months to May 2026, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 5 ROMNEY CLOSE has moved in line with the HPI for semi-detached houses in the Thanet local authority area.
• The December 2024 sale price of £268,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
