THE BELDE 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 THE BELDE sales from July 2017 and November 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 2017 sale was for 12% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 12% above the HPI over time, until the November 2023 sale, where it rises to 29% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 29% above the HPI.

What might THE BELDE be worth now?

THE BELDE might now be worth an estimated £816,018.

This is based on house price inflation of 5.3%, between November 2023 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 5.3% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for THE BELDE of £775,000 on 15th November 2023. For the value to have increased from £775,000 to £816,018 over the two years and nine months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of THE BELDE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Maidstone local authority area.
• The November 2023 sale price of £775,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of THE BELDE has not materially changed since November 2023.
