8 MERCER 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 five 8 MERCER DRIVE sales between January 1999 and February 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 June 2017 sale was for 6% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 6% below the HPI over time, until the February 2021 sale, where it rises to 1% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 1% below the HPI.

What might 8 MERCER DRIVE be worth now?

8 MERCER DRIVE might now be worth an estimated £616,043.

The 15.7% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 8 MERCER DRIVE of £532,500 on 9th February 2021. For the value to have increased from £532,500 to £616,043 over the two years and two months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 8 MERCER DRIVE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Maidstone local authority area.
