10 DOWNS CLOSE 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 five 10 DOWNS CLOSE sales between May 1998 and January 2021 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 December 2020 sale was for 25% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 25% below the HPI over time, until the January 2021 sale, which was also at 25% below the HPI.

What might 10 DOWNS CLOSE be worth now?

This is based on house price inflation of 18.5%, between January 2021 and February 2025, 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 18.5% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 10 DOWNS CLOSE of £400,000 on 6th January 2021. For the value to have increased from £400,000 to £473,857 over the three years and eleven months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 10 DOWNS CLOSE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Maidstone local authority area.
