34 THE GROVE 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 four 34 THE GROVE sales between September 1998 and July 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 March 2021 sale was for 63% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 63% above the HPI over time, until the July 2023 sale, where it falls to 61% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 61% above the HPI.

What might 34 THE GROVE be worth now?

34 THE GROVE might now be worth an estimated £609,351.

This is based on house price inflation of 3.3%, between July 2023 and December 2024, 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 3.3% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 34 THE GROVE of £590,000 on 19th July 2023. For the value to have increased from £590,000 to £609,351 over the seven months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 34 THE GROVE has moved in line with the HPI for semi-detached houses in the Maidstone local authority area.
• The July 2023 sale price of £590,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
