17 COTSWOLD GARDENS 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 17 COTSWOLD GARDENS sales from September 2002 and July 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 September 2002 sale was for 29% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 29% below the HPI over time, until the July 2012 sale, where it falls to 34% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 34% below the HPI.

What might 17 COTSWOLD GARDENS be worth now?

This is based on house price inflation of 68.5%, between July 2012 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 68.5% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 17 COTSWOLD GARDENS of £243,000 on 20th July 2012. For the value to have increased from £243,000 to £409,554 over the eleven years and seven months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:
