FIRSWOOD LODGE 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 FIRSWOOD LODGE sales between August 2001 and July 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 91% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 91% above the HPI over time, until the July 2017 sale, where it falls to 75% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 75% above the HPI.

What might FIRSWOOD LODGE be worth now?

FIRSWOOD LODGE might now be worth an estimated £1,082,210.

This is based on house price inflation of 17%, between July 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 17% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for FIRSWOOD LODGE of £925,000 on 11th July 2017. For the value to have increased from £925,000 to £1,082,210 over the six years and seven months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of FIRSWOOD LODGE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Maidstone local authority area.
• The July 2017 sale price of £925,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of FIRSWOOD LODGE has not materially changed since July 2017.
