2 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 two 2 DOWNS CLOSE sales from August 1995 and August 2023 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 1995 sale was for 8% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 8% below the HPI over time, until the August 2023 sale, where it falls to 20% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 20% below the HPI.

What might 2 DOWNS CLOSE be worth now?

2 DOWNS CLOSE might now be worth an estimated £309,246.

This is based on house price inflation of 4.1%, between August 2023 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 4.1% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 2 DOWNS CLOSE of £297,000 on 22nd August 2023. For the value to have increased from £297,000 to £309,246 over the two years and six months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:
