8 YEW TREE 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 four 8 YEW TREE CLOSE sales between June 1997 and October 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 2012 sale was for 51% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 51% below the HPI over time, until the October 2021 sale, where it rises to 38% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 38% below the HPI.

What might 8 YEW TREE CLOSE be worth now?

8 YEW TREE CLOSE might now be worth an estimated £234,746.

This is based on house price inflation of 12.3%, between October 2021 and December 2024, 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 12.3% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 8 YEW TREE CLOSE of £209,000 on 1st October 2021. For the value to have increased from £209,000 to £234,746 over the two years and ten months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 8 YEW TREE CLOSE has moved in line with the HPI for semi-detached houses in the Maidstone local authority area.
