OLD LAKEN HAM 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 OLD LAKEN HAM sales between January 2001 and May 2008 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 April 2003 sale was for 202% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 202% above the HPI over time, until the May 2008 sale, where it falls to 161% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 161% above the HPI.

What might OLD LAKEN HAM be worth now?

OLD LAKEN HAM might now be worth an estimated £1,614,861.

This is based on house price inflation of 63.1%, between May 2008 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 63.1% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for OLD LAKEN HAM of £990,000 on 30th May 2008. For the value to have increased from £990,000 to £1,614,861 over the fifteen years and five months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of OLD LAKEN HAM has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Maidstone local authority area.
• The May 2008 sale price of £990,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of OLD LAKEN HAM has not materially changed since May 2008.
