WEALDEN 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 WEALDEN sales between April 2007 and August 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 November 2018 sale was for 1% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 1% below the HPI over time, until the August 2023 sale, where it rises to 8% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 8% above the HPI.

What might WEALDEN be worth now?

WEALDEN might now be worth an estimated £667,663.

This is based on house price inflation of 1.2%, between August 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 1.2% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for WEALDEN of £660,000 on 31st August 2023. For the value to have increased from £660,000 to £667,663 over the eight months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of WEALDEN has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Maidstone local authority area.
• The August 2023 sale price of £660,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of WEALDEN has not materially changed since August 2023.
