LITTLEMOTE 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 LITTLEMOTE sales from February 1997 and July 2013 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 February 1997 sale was for 49% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 49% above the HPI over time, until the July 2013 sale, where it rises to 53% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 53% above the HPI.

What might LITTLEMOTE be worth now?

LITTLEMOTE might now be worth an estimated £968,672.

This is based on house price inflation of 73%, between July 2013 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 73% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for LITTLEMOTE of £560,000 on 15th July 2013. For the value to have increased from £560,000 to £968,672 over the twelve years and five months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of LITTLEMOTE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Maidstone local authority area.
• The July 2013 sale price of £560,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of LITTLEMOTE has not materially changed since July 2013.
