HIGH ROOKS 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 two HIGH ROOKS sales from August 2016 and September 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 August 2016 sale was for 43% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 43% below the HPI over time, until the September 2017 sale, where it falls to 45% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 45% below the HPI.

What might HIGH ROOKS be worth now?

HIGH ROOKS might now be worth an estimated £338,269.

This is based on house price inflation of 16.6%, between September 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 16.6% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for HIGH ROOKS of £290,000 on 8th September 2017. For the value to have increased from £290,000 to £338,269 over the six years and nine months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of HIGH ROOKS has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Maidstone local authority area.
• The September 2017 sale price of £290,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of HIGH ROOKS has not materially changed since September 2017.
