HOLMLEIGH 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 HOLMLEIGH sales from May 1996 and June 2005 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 May 1996 sale was for 25% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 25% below the HPI over time, until the June 2005 sale, where it rises to 18% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 18% below the HPI.

What might HOLMLEIGH be worth now?

HOLMLEIGH might now be worth an estimated £508,233.

This is based on house price inflation of 88.2%, between June 2005 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 88.2% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for HOLMLEIGH of £270,000 on 30th June 2005. For the value to have increased from £270,000 to £508,233 over the eighteen years and six months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of HOLMLEIGH has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Maidstone local authority area.
• The June 2005 sale price of £270,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of HOLMLEIGH has not materially changed since June 2005.
