BELL HOUSE 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 two BELL HOUSE sales from February 2016 and June 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 2016 sale was for 13% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 13% above the HPI over time, until the June 2021 sale, where it rises to 58% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 58% above the HPI.

What might BELL HOUSE be worth now?

BELL HOUSE might now be worth an estimated £978,570.

This is based on house price inflation of 15.1%, between June 2021 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 15.1% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for BELL HOUSE of £850,000 on 29th June 2021. For the value to have increased from £850,000 to £978,570 over the two years and six months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of BELL HOUSE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Maidstone local authority area.
• The June 2021 sale price of £850,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of BELL HOUSE has not materially changed since June 2021.
