SEATON 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 two SEATON sales from June 2015 and October 2020 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 2015 sale was for 38% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 38% below the HPI over time, until the October 2020 sale, where it rises to 17% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 17% below the HPI.

What might SEATON be worth now?

SEATON might now be worth an estimated £515,408.

This is based on house price inflation of 14.5%, between October 2020 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 14.5% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for SEATON of £450,000 on 5th October 2020. For the value to have increased from £450,000 to £515,408 over the three years and ten months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of SEATON has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Maidstone local authority area.
• The October 2020 sale price of £450,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of SEATON has not materially changed since October 2020.
