BIRCH 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 BIRCH HOUSE sales from June 2015 and September 2019 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 June 2015 sale was for 7% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 7% below the HPI over time, until the September 2019 sale, where it rises to 2% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 2% below the HPI.

What might BIRCH HOUSE be worth now?

BIRCH HOUSE might now be worth an estimated £608,093.

This is based on house price inflation of 14.7%, between September 2019 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 14.7% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for BIRCH HOUSE of £530,000 on 6th September 2019. For the value to have increased from £530,000 to £608,093 over the four years and nine months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of BIRCH HOUSE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Maidstone local authority area.
• The September 2019 sale price of £530,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of BIRCH HOUSE has not materially changed since September 2019.
