MAX GATE 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 three MAX GATE sales between November 2007 and July 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 October 2014 sale was for 19% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 19% above the HPI over time, until the July 2021 sale, where it falls to 18% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 18% above the HPI.

What might MAX GATE be worth now?

MAX GATE might now be worth an estimated £729,930.

This is based on house price inflation of 14.1%, between July 2021 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 14.1% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for MAX GATE of £640,000 on 22nd July 2021. For the value to have increased from £640,000 to £729,930 over the two years and seven months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of MAX GATE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Maidstone local authority area.
• The July 2021 sale price of £640,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of MAX GATE has not materially changed since July 2021.
