LITTLE MILGATE 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 LITTLE MILGATE COTTAGE sales from November 1996 and May 2009 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 November 1996 sale was for 19% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 19% above the HPI over time, until the May 2009 sale, where it rises to 34% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 34% above the HPI.

What might LITTLE MILGATE COTTAGE be worth now?

The 100.7% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for LITTLE MILGATE COTTAGE of £425,000 on 15th May 2009. For the value to have increased from £425,000 to £853,147 over the sixteen years and three months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:
