16 TIMBERTOPS 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 16 TIMBERTOPS sales between December 2001 and September 2018 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 February 2009 sale was for 19% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 19% below the HPI over time, until the September 2018 sale, where it falls to 22% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 22% below the HPI.

What might 16 TIMBERTOPS be worth now?

16 TIMBERTOPS might now be worth an estimated £294,115.

This is based on house price inflation of 13.1%, between September 2018 and December 2024, 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 13.1% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 16 TIMBERTOPS of £260,000 on 25th September 2018. For the value to have increased from £260,000 to £294,115 over the five years and nine months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 16 TIMBERTOPS has moved in line with the HPI for semi-detached houses in the Maidstone local authority area.
• The September 2018 sale price of £260,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of 16 TIMBERTOPS has not materially changed since September 2018.
