THORNLEY 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 three THORNLEY sales between October 1996 and October 2020 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 June 1998 sale was for 114% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 114% above the HPI over time, until the October 2020 sale, where it falls to 6% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 6% above the HPI.

What might THORNLEY be worth now?

THORNLEY might now be worth an estimated £675,210.

This is based on house price inflation of 17.4%, between October 2020 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 17.4% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for THORNLEY of £575,000 on 23rd October 2020. For the value to have increased from £575,000 to £675,210 over the five years and eight months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of THORNLEY has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Maidstone local authority area.
• The October 2020 sale price of £575,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of THORNLEY has not materially changed since October 2020.
