SHAMA 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 SHAMA sales from July 2020 and April 2023 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 2020 sale was for 16% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 16% below the HPI over time, until the April 2023 sale, where it rises to 10% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 10% below the HPI.

What might SHAMA be worth now?

SHAMA might now be worth an estimated £559,200.

This is based on house price deflation of 2.7%, between April 2023 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 2.7% deflationary decrease is applied to the most recent sale price for SHAMA of £575,000 on 14th April 2023. For the value to have decreased from £575,000 to £559,200 over the four months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of SHAMA has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Maidstone local authority area.
• The April 2023 sale price of £575,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of SHAMA has not materially changed since April 2023.
