20 LONGHAM COPSE 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 three 20 LONGHAM COPSE sales between January 1995 and November 2016 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 December 2002 sale was for 10% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 10% below the HPI over time, until the November 2016 sale, where it falls to 18% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 18% below the HPI.

What might 20 LONGHAM COPSE be worth now?

This is based on house price inflation of 28%, between November 2016 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 28% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 20 LONGHAM COPSE of £250,000 on 14th November 2016. For the value to have increased from £250,000 to £320,063 over the nine years and nine months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 20 LONGHAM COPSE has moved in line with the HPI for semi-detached houses in the Maidstone local authority area.
• The November 2016 sale price of £250,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
