1 SAMARA CLOSE 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 1 SAMARA CLOSE sales from April 1996 and May 2003 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 April 1996 sale was for 37% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 37% below the HPI over time, until the May 2003 sale, which was also at 37% below the HPI.

What might 1 SAMARA CLOSE be worth now?

This is based on house price inflation of 110.9%, between May 2003 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 110.9% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 1 SAMARA CLOSE of £190,000 on 22nd May 2003. For the value to have increased from £190,000 to £400,723 over the 22 years and three months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:
