BOX COTTAGE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average semi-detached house price in the Maidstone local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The four BOX COTTAGE sales between September 1998 and November 2016 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 September 2003 sale was for 4% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 4% below the HPI over time, until the November 2016 sale, where it falls to 8% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 8% below the HPI.

What might BOX COTTAGE be worth now?

BOX COTTAGE might now be worth an estimated £358,471.

This is based on house price inflation of 28%, between November 2016 and February 2025, for semi-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 28% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for BOX COTTAGE of £280,000 on 2nd November 2016. For the value to have increased from £280,000 to £358,471 over the nine years and nine months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of BOX COTTAGE has moved in line with the HPI for semi-detached houses in the Maidstone local authority area.
• The November 2016 sale price of £280,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of BOX COTTAGE has not materially changed since November 2016.
