HIGHFIELD Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Swale local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two HIGHFIELD sales from July 2006 and May 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 July 2006 sale was for 9% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 9% above the HPI over time, until the May 2024 sale, where it falls to 6% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 6% above the HPI.

What might HIGHFIELD be worth now?

HIGHFIELD might now be worth an estimated £502,727.

This is based on house price inflation of 5.8%, between May 2024 and February 2025, for detached houses, in the Swale local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 5.8% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for HIGHFIELD of £475,000 on 17th May 2024. For the value to have increased from £475,000 to £502,727 over the one year and three months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of HIGHFIELD has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Swale local authority area.
• The May 2024 sale price of £475,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of HIGHFIELD has not materially changed since May 2024.
