2 SMALLHYTHE CLOSE 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 SMALLHYTHE CLOSE sales from September 2007 and April 2013 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 2007 sale was for 26% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 26% below the HPI over time, until the April 2013 sale, where it rises to 24% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 24% below the HPI.

What might 2 SMALLHYTHE CLOSE be worth now?

This is based on house price inflation of 74%, between April 2013 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).

The 74% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 2 SMALLHYTHE CLOSE of £277,000 on 4th April 2013. For the value to have increased from £277,000 to £481,998 over the twelve years and two months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:
