40 HAM LANE 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 four 40 HAM LANE sales between March 1999 and February 2018 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 2014 sale was for 46% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 46% below the HPI over time, until the February 2018 sale, where it rises to 35% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 35% below the HPI.

What might 40 HAM LANE be worth now?

40 HAM LANE might now be worth an estimated £400,561.

This is based on house price inflation of 13.6%, between February 2018 and December 2024, 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 13.6% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 40 HAM LANE of £352,500 on 9th February 2018. For the value to have increased from £352,500 to £400,561 over the five years and two months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 40 HAM LANE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Maidstone local authority area.
