1 RECTORY LANE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Maidstone local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 1 RECTORY LANE sales from July 1995 and April 1998 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 1995 sale was for 3% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 3% below the HPI over time, until the April 1998 sale, where it falls to 6% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 6% below the HPI.

What might 1 RECTORY LANE be worth now?

1 RECTORY LANE might now be worth an estimated £584,712.

This is based on house price inflation of 326.8%, between April 1998 and December 2024, for detached houses, in the Maidstone local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 326.8% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 1 RECTORY LANE of £137,000 on 3rd April 1998. For the value to have increased from £137,000 to £584,712 over the 25 years and four months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 1 RECTORY LANE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Maidstone local authority area.
• The April 1998 sale price of £137,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
