1 THISTLEDOWN 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 THISTLEDOWN sales from March 1997 and August 2014 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 26% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 26% below the HPI over time, until the August 2014 sale, where it rises to 22% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 22% below the HPI.

What might 1 THISTLEDOWN be worth now?

1 THISTLEDOWN might now be worth an estimated £482,264.

This is based on house price inflation of 50.7%, between August 2014 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 50.7% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 1 THISTLEDOWN of £320,000 on 1st August 2014. For the value to have increased from £320,000 to £482,264 over the nine years and eight months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 1 THISTLEDOWN has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Maidstone local authority area.
• The August 2014 sale price of £320,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of 1 THISTLEDOWN has not materially changed since August 2014.
