15 ORCHARD 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 two 15 ORCHARD CLOSE sales from August 1997 and July 2015 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 August 1997 sale was for 1% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 1% above the HPI over time, until the July 2015 sale, where it falls to 14% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 14% below the HPI.

What might 15 ORCHARD CLOSE be worth now?

15 ORCHARD CLOSE might now be worth an estimated £335,118.

This is based on house price inflation of 42.6%, between July 2015 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 42.6% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 15 ORCHARD CLOSE of £235,000 on 31st July 2015. For the value to have increased from £235,000 to £335,118 over the ten years and five months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:
