HARPERLEY COTTAGE 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 HARPERLEY COTTAGE sales between August 2005 and July 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 January 2014 sale was for 28% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 28% above the HPI over time, until the July 2019 sale, where it falls to 21% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 21% above the HPI.

What might HARPERLEY COTTAGE be worth now?

HARPERLEY COTTAGE might now be worth an estimated £750,102.

The 16.3% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for HARPERLEY COTTAGE of £645,000 on 10th July 2019. For the value to have increased from £645,000 to £750,102 over the four years and seven months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:
