ACRES GATE 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 ACRES GATE sales between August 2007 and August 2015 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 October 2009 sale was for 112% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 112% above the HPI over time, until the August 2015 sale, where it falls to 83% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 83% above the HPI.

What might ACRES GATE be worth now?

ACRES GATE might now be worth an estimated £1,134,429.

This is based on house price inflation of 35.1%, between August 2015 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 35.1% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for ACRES GATE of £840,000 on 25th August 2015. For the value to have increased from £840,000 to £1,134,429 over the eight years and eight months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of ACRES GATE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Maidstone local authority area.
• The August 2015 sale price of £840,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of ACRES GATE has not materially changed since August 2015.
