8 FORGE LANE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average terraced house price in the Gravesham local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The four 8 FORGE LANE sales between July 2000 and August 2022 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 July 2015 sale was for 13% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 13% above the HPI over time, until the August 2022 sale, where it falls to 2% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 2% below the HPI.

What might 8 FORGE LANE be worth now?

8 FORGE LANE might now be worth an estimated £308,556.

This is based on house price inflation of 2.5%, between August 2022 and June 2025, for terraced houses, in the Gravesham local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 2.5% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 8 FORGE LANE of £301,000 on 3rd August 2022. For the value to have increased from £301,000 to £308,556 over the three years and two months to June 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 8 FORGE LANE has moved in line with the HPI for terraced houses in the Gravesham local authority area.
