18 KINGS ACRE 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 18 KINGS ACRE sales from August 1997 and June 2014 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 August 1997 sale was for 15% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 15% below the HPI over time, until the June 2014 sale, where it falls to 31% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 31% below the HPI.

What might 18 KINGS ACRE be worth now?

18 KINGS ACRE might now be worth an estimated £432,683.

This is based on house price inflation of 54.5%, between June 2014 and August 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 54.5% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 18 KINGS ACRE of £280,000 on 12th June 2014. For the value to have increased from £280,000 to £432,683 over the ten years and ten months to August 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:
