GRIFFIN 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 GRIFFIN LODGE sales between March 2007 and April 2014 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 2007 sale was for 52% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 52% above the HPI over time, until the April 2014 sale, where it falls to 21% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 21% above the HPI.

What might GRIFFIN LODGE be worth now?

GRIFFIN LODGE might now be worth an estimated £749,494.

This is based on house price inflation of 54.5%, between April 2014 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 54.5% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for GRIFFIN LODGE of £485,000 on 4th April 2014. For the value to have increased from £485,000 to £749,494 over the nine years and four months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of GRIFFIN LODGE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Maidstone local authority area.
• The April 2014 sale price of £485,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of GRIFFIN LODGE has not materially changed since April 2014.
