KENT 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 two KENT COTTAGE sales from August 2014 and June 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 2014 sale was for 22% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 22% above the HPI over time, until the June 2021 sale, where it rises to 29% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 29% above the HPI.

What might KENT COTTAGE be worth now?

KENT COTTAGE might now be worth an estimated £820,332.

This is based on house price inflation of 18%, between June 2021 and February 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 18% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for KENT COTTAGE of £695,000 on 7th June 2021. For the value to have increased from £695,000 to £820,332 over the four years and four months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of KENT COTTAGE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Maidstone local authority area.
