5 VIOLET CLOSE 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 two 5 VIOLET CLOSE sales from April 1997 and November 2002 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 April 1997 sale was for 21% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 21% below the HPI over time, until the November 2002 sale, where it rises to 19% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 19% below the HPI.

What might 5 VIOLET CLOSE be worth now?

5 VIOLET CLOSE might now be worth an estimated £312,510.

This is based on house price inflation of 143.2%, between November 2002 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 143.2% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 5 VIOLET CLOSE of £128,500 on 29th November 2002. For the value to have increased from £128,500 to £312,510 over the 23 years and nine months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 5 VIOLET CLOSE has moved in line with the HPI for semi-detached houses in the Maidstone local authority area.
• The November 2002 sale price of £128,500 represented a fair market value for the property.
