WEST BANK COTTAGE 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 WEST BANK COTTAGE sales from October 2010 and June 2022 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 October 2010 sale was for 204% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 204% above the HPI over time, until the June 2022 sale, where it falls to 173% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 173% above the HPI.

What might WEST BANK COTTAGE be worth now?

WEST BANK COTTAGE might now be worth an estimated £1,690,530.

This is based on house price inflation of 4%, between June 2022 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 4% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for WEST BANK COTTAGE of £1,625,000 on 22nd June 2022. For the value to have increased from £1,625,000 to £1,690,530 over the one year and six months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of WEST BANK COTTAGE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Maidstone local authority area.
• The June 2022 sale price of £1,625,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of WEST BANK COTTAGE has not materially changed since June 2022.
