CRESTA 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 CRESTA sales from December 2002 and December 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 December 2002 sale was for 20% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 20% below the HPI over time, until the December 2010 sale, where it falls to 24% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 24% below the HPI.

What might CRESTA be worth now?

CRESTA might now be worth an estimated £406,479.

This is based on house price inflation of 103.2%, between December 2010 and October 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 103.2% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for CRESTA of £200,000 on 8th December 2010. For the value to have increased from £200,000 to £406,479 over the fifteen years and two months to October 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of CRESTA has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Medway local authority area.
• The December 2010 sale price of £200,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of CRESTA has not materially changed since December 2010.
