The below graph shows the average semi-detached house price in the Maidstone local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The four 8 BELL FARM GARDENS sales between August 1998 and September 2021 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 February 2017 sale was for 33% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 33% above the HPI over time, until the September 2021 sale, where it falls to 23% above the HPI.

What might 8 BELL FARM GARDENS be worth now?
