THE SYCAMORES 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 SYCAMORES sales from May 2013 and September 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 May 2013 sale was for 35% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 35% below the HPI over time, until the September 2023 sale, where it falls to 41% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 41% below the HPI.

What might THE SYCAMORES be worth now?

THE SYCAMORES might now be worth an estimated £368,330.

This is based on house price inflation of 0.9%, between September 2023 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 0.9% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for THE SYCAMORES of £365,000 on 26th September 2023. For the value to have increased from £365,000 to £368,330 over the nine months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of THE SYCAMORES has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Maidstone local authority area.
• The September 2023 sale price of £365,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of THE SYCAMORES has not materially changed since September 2023.
