Interest rates Vs Price Drops

Can someone check my figures please?

Happy to be proven wrong but if £100,000k costs the following over 25 years:-

7%, £212,034(£18,744 more than at 6%)
6%, £193,290 (£17,913 more than at 5%)
5%, £175,377

then

£100, 000 @ 5% costs £175, 377 (£1.75377 * £100,000)
£90,732 @ 6% costs £175,377 (£1.9329 * £90,732)
£82,713 @ 7% costs £175,377 (£1.75377 * £82,713)

Therefore,
Prices have to drop 9%, then 8% to be equal to the cost of £100k at 5%.
Thus, when interest rates move 1% the market has to drop 9% for things to be the same and 17% for a 2% rise.

Happy to be proven wrong
