THACKER GATE 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 THACKER GATE sales from November 2003 and January 2008 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 November 2003 sale was for 1% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 1% above the HPI over time, until the January 2008 sale, where it rises to 6% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 6% above the HPI.

What might THACKER GATE be worth now?

THACKER GATE might now be worth an estimated £675,542.

This is based on house price inflation of 60.8%, between January 2008 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 60.8% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for THACKER GATE of £420,000 on 4th January 2008. For the value to have increased from £420,000 to £675,542 over the sixteen years and eleven months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of THACKER GATE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Maidstone local authority area.
• The January 2008 sale price of £420,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of THACKER GATE has not materially changed since January 2008.
