THE NEST 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 NEST sales from April 2006 and September 2011 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 April 2006 sale was for 32% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 32% below the HPI over time, until the September 2011 sale, where it rises to 16% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 16% below the HPI.

What might THE NEST be worth now?

THE NEST might now be worth an estimated £518,601.

This is based on house price inflation of 70%, between September 2011 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 70% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for THE NEST of £305,000 on 23rd September 2011. For the value to have increased from £305,000 to £518,601 over the twelve years and nine months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of THE NEST has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Maidstone local authority area.
• The September 2011 sale price of £305,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of THE NEST has not materially changed since September 2011.
