THE NIGHTINGALES 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 NIGHTINGALES sales from August 2018 and January 2021 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 August 2018 sale roughly matched the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks roughly in line with the HPI over time, until the January 2021 sale, where it rises to 21% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 21% above the HPI.

What might THE NIGHTINGALES be worth now?

THE NIGHTINGALES might now be worth an estimated £751,049.

This is based on house price inflation of 15.5%, between January 2021 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 15.5% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for THE NIGHTINGALES of £650,000 on 8th January 2021. For the value to have increased from £650,000 to £751,049 over the two years and one month to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of THE NIGHTINGALES has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Maidstone local authority area.
• The January 2021 sale price of £650,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of THE NIGHTINGALES has not materially changed since January 2021.
