20 DICKENS 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 two 20 DICKENS CLOSE sales from August 1997 and June 2010 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 3% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 3% above the HPI over time, until the June 2010 sale, where it rises to 6% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 6% above the HPI.

What might 20 DICKENS CLOSE be worth now?

This is based on house price inflation of 73.3%, between June 2010 and May 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 73.3% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 20 DICKENS CLOSE of £231,500 on 25th June 2010. For the value to have increased from £231,500 to £401,160 over the sixteen years and one month to May 2026, the following assumptions must hold true:
