THE LAURELS 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 LAURELS sales from May 2018 and June 2022 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 May 2018 sale was for 11% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 11% below the HPI over time, until the June 2022 sale, where it rises to 1% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 1% above the HPI.

What might THE LAURELS be worth now?

THE LAURELS might now be worth an estimated £624,196.

This is based on house price inflation of 4%, between June 2022 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 4% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for THE LAURELS of £600,000 on 17th June 2022. For the value to have increased from £600,000 to £624,196 over the one year and six months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of THE LAURELS has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Maidstone local authority area.
• The June 2022 sale price of £600,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of THE LAURELS has not materially changed since June 2022.
