31 LIME TREES 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 three 31 LIME TREES sales between November 1999 and June 2017 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 2002 sale was for 6% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 6% below the HPI over time, until the June 2017 sale, where it falls to 17% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 17% below the HPI.

What might 31 LIME TREES be worth now?

31 LIME TREES might now be worth an estimated £524,085.

This is based on house price inflation of 21.9%, between June 2017 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 21.9% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 31 LIME TREES of £429,950 on 9th June 2017. For the value to have increased from £429,950 to £524,085 over the eight years and four months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 31 LIME TREES has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Maidstone local authority area.
• The June 2017 sale price of £429,950 represented a fair market value for the property.
