SANDY ORCHARD 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 SANDY ORCHARD sales between July 2002 and February 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 July 2014 sale was for 16% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 16% below the HPI over time, until the February 2021 sale, where it rises to 2% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 2% below the HPI.

What might SANDY ORCHARD be worth now?

SANDY ORCHARD might now be worth an estimated £607,367.

This is based on house price inflation of 15.7%, between February 2021 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 15.7% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for SANDY ORCHARD of £525,000 on 17th February 2021. For the value to have increased from £525,000 to £607,367 over the two years and two months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of SANDY ORCHARD has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Maidstone local authority area.
• The February 2021 sale price of £525,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of SANDY ORCHARD has not materially changed since February 2021.
