GOLD CREST Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average semi-detached house price in the Medway local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two GOLD CREST sales from August 2013 and February 2020 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 2013 sale was for 3% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 3% below the HPI over time, until the February 2020 sale, where it rises to 4% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 4% above the HPI.

What might GOLD CREST be worth now?

GOLD CREST might now be worth an estimated £367,715.

This is based on house price inflation of 27.9%, between February 2020 and March 2025, for semi-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 27.9% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for GOLD CREST of £287,500 on 17th February 2020. For the value to have increased from £287,500 to £367,715 over the four years and eleven months to March 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of GOLD CREST has moved in line with the HPI for semi-detached houses in the Medway local authority area.
• The February 2020 sale price of £287,500 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of GOLD CREST has not materially changed since February 2020.
