DELAWARE 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 DELAWARE sales between July 1999 and August 2017 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 October 2014 sale was for 38% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 38% above the HPI over time, until the August 2017 sale, where it falls to 12% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 12% above the HPI.

What might DELAWARE be worth now?

DELAWARE might now be worth an estimated £690,546.

This is based on house price inflation of 16.1%, between August 2017 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 16.1% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for DELAWARE of £595,000 on 31st August 2017. For the value to have increased from £595,000 to £690,546 over the six years and eight months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of DELAWARE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Maidstone local authority area.
• The August 2017 sale price of £595,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of DELAWARE has not materially changed since August 2017.
