2 BUTTON LANE 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 2 BUTTON LANE sales from October 2008 and May 2011 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 October 2008 sale was for 15% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 15% below the HPI over time, until the May 2011 sale, where it falls to 18% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 18% below the HPI.

What might 2 BUTTON LANE be worth now?

This is based on house price inflation of 82.5%, between May 2011 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).
