PARSONS COTTAGE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average semi-detached house price in the Maidstone local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three PARSONS COTTAGE sales between October 1996 and March 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 March 2005 sale was for 85% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 85% above the HPI over time, until the March 2021 sale, which was also at 85% above the HPI.

What might PARSONS COTTAGE be worth now?

PARSONS COTTAGE might now be worth an estimated £702,944.

This is based on house price inflation of 17.2%, between March 2021 and December 2024, for semi-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 17.2% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for PARSONS COTTAGE of £600,000 on 19th March 2021. For the value to have increased from £600,000 to £702,944 over the two years and three months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of PARSONS COTTAGE has moved in line with the HPI for semi-detached houses in the Maidstone local authority area.
• The March 2021 sale price of £600,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of PARSONS COTTAGE has not materially changed since March 2021.
