MOUNT HOUSE 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 five MOUNT HOUSE sales between December 2000 and April 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 January 2015 sale was for 35% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 35% below the HPI over time, until the April 2021 sale, where it rises to 31% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 31% below the HPI.

What might MOUNT HOUSE be worth now?

MOUNT HOUSE might now be worth an estimated £428,629.

This is based on house price inflation of 16.8%, between April 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 16.8% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for MOUNT HOUSE of £367,000 on 14th April 2021. For the value to have increased from £367,000 to £428,629 over the two years and four months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of MOUNT HOUSE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Maidstone local authority area.
• The April 2021 sale price of £367,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of MOUNT HOUSE has not materially changed since April 2021.
