WINDY CROFT Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Dover local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two WINDY CROFT sales from March 1997 and June 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 March 1997 sale was for 53% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 53% above the HPI over time, until the June 2024 sale, where it falls to 48% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 48% above the HPI.

What might WINDY CROFT be worth now?

WINDY CROFT might now be worth an estimated £729,349.

This is based on house price inflation of 6.1%, between June 2024 and April 2025, for detached houses, in the Dover local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 6.1% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for WINDY CROFT of £687,500 on 19th June 2024. For the value to have increased from £687,500 to £729,349 over the one year and two months to April 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of WINDY CROFT has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Dover local authority area.
• The June 2024 sale price of £687,500 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of WINDY CROFT has not materially changed since June 2024.
