14 DOWNS CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average semi-detached house price in the Maidstone local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The four 14 DOWNS CLOSE sales between December 1995 and August 2012 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 January 2009 sale was for 4% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 4% above the HPI over time, until the August 2012 sale, where it rises to 13% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 13% above the HPI.

What might 14 DOWNS CLOSE be worth now?

14 DOWNS CLOSE might now be worth an estimated £436,807.

This is based on house price inflation of 74.7%, between August 2012 and February 2025, for semi-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 74.7% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 14 DOWNS CLOSE of £250,000 on 24th August 2012. For the value to have increased from £250,000 to £436,807 over the thirteen years and six months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 14 DOWNS CLOSE has moved in line with the HPI for semi-detached houses in the Maidstone local authority area.
• The August 2012 sale price of £250,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
