15 DOWNS CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average semi-detached house price in the Maidstone local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The four 15 DOWNS CLOSE sales between February 1996 and August 2009 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 2005 sale was for 14% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 14% below the HPI over time, until the August 2009 sale, where it rises to 13% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 13% below the HPI.

What might 15 DOWNS CLOSE be worth now?

This is based on house price inflation of 90%, between August 2009 and April 2026, for semi-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 90% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 15 DOWNS CLOSE of £175,000 on 28th August 2009. For the value to have increased from £175,000 to £332,460 over the seventeen years and four months to April 2026, the following assumptions must hold true:
