HEATH 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 HEATH COTTAGE sales between July 2001 and April 2021 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 August 2013 sale was for 34% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 34% below the HPI over time, until the April 2021 sale, where it rises to 25% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 25% below the HPI.

What might HEATH COTTAGE be worth now?

HEATH COTTAGE might now be worth an estimated £469,980.

This is based on house price inflation of 17.5%, between April 2021 and March 2025, 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 17.5% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for HEATH COTTAGE of £400,000 on 23rd April 2021. For the value to have increased from £400,000 to £469,980 over the four years and one month to March 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of HEATH COTTAGE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Maidstone local authority area.
• The April 2021 sale price of £400,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of HEATH COTTAGE has not materially changed since April 2021.
