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 January 1997 and November 2010 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 January 1997 sale was for 201% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 201% above the HPI over time, until the November 2010 sale, where it rises to 268% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 268% above the HPI.

What might BELL HOUSE be worth now?

BELL HOUSE might now be worth an estimated £2,276,509.

This is based on house price inflation of 68.6%, between November 2010 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 68.6% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for BELL HOUSE of £1,350,000 on 26th November 2010. For the value to have increased from £1,350,000 to £2,276,509 over the thirteen years and eleven 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 November 2010 sale price of £1,350,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of BELL HOUSE has not materially changed since November 2010.
