RODGROVE 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 four RODGROVE sales between April 1998 and July 2018 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 June 2010 sale was for 17% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 17% below the HPI over time, until the July 2018 sale, where it rises to 16% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 16% below the HPI.

What might RODGROVE be worth now?

RODGROVE might now be worth an estimated £520,046.

This is based on house price inflation of 13.1%, between July 2018 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 13.1% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for RODGROVE of £460,000 on 31st July 2018. For the value to have increased from £460,000 to £520,046 over the five years and seven months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of RODGROVE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Maidstone local authority area.
• The July 2018 sale price of £460,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of RODGROVE has not materially changed since July 2018.
