NORTH DOWN 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 NORTH DOWN sales from October 2010 and August 2014 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 2010 sale was for 27% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 27% below the HPI over time, until the August 2014 sale, where it rises to 15% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 15% below the HPI.

What might NORTH DOWN be worth now?

NORTH DOWN might now be worth an estimated £540,798.

This is based on house price inflation of 54.5%, between August 2014 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 54.5% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for NORTH DOWN of £350,000 on 7th August 2014. For the value to have increased from £350,000 to £540,798 over the eleven years and six months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of NORTH DOWN has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Maidstone local authority area.
• The August 2014 sale price of £350,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of NORTH DOWN has not materially changed since August 2014.
