QUESTED COTTAGE 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 QUESTED COTTAGE sales between August 1995 and July 2024 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 2012 sale was for 16% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 16% below the HPI over time, until the July 2024 sale, where it rises to 13% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 13% below the HPI.

What might QUESTED COTTAGE be worth now?

QUESTED COTTAGE might now be worth an estimated £549,851.

This is based on house price inflation of 8.9%, between July 2024 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 8.9% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for QUESTED COTTAGE of £505,000 on 17th July 2024. For the value to have increased from £505,000 to £549,851 over the one year and five months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of QUESTED COTTAGE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Maidstone local authority area.
• The July 2024 sale price of £505,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
