ALPHA COTTAGE 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 ALPHA COTTAGE sales between July 1998 and December 2014 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 2001 sale was for 24% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 24% below the HPI over time, until the December 2014 sale, where it rises to 21% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 21% below the HPI.

What might ALPHA COTTAGE be worth now?

ALPHA COTTAGE might now be worth an estimated £499,603.

This is based on house price inflation of 49.1%, between December 2014 and February 2025, 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 49.1% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for ALPHA COTTAGE of £335,000 on 12th December 2014. For the value to have increased from £335,000 to £499,603 over the eleven years and ten months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of ALPHA COTTAGE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Maidstone local authority area.
• The December 2014 sale price of £335,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of ALPHA COTTAGE has not materially changed since December 2014.
