5 CEDAR DRIVE 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 5 CEDAR DRIVE sales between July 2003 and October 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 July 2005 sale was for 8% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 8% below the HPI over time, until the October 2018 sale, where it falls to 12% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 12% below the HPI.

What might 5 CEDAR DRIVE be worth now?

5 CEDAR DRIVE might now be worth an estimated £543,319.

This is based on house price inflation of 12%, between October 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 12% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 5 CEDAR DRIVE of £485,000 on 9th October 2018. For the value to have increased from £485,000 to £543,319 over the five years and ten months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 5 CEDAR DRIVE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Maidstone local authority area.
