28 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 two 28 DOWNS CLOSE sales from August 1995 and December 1997 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 1995 sale was for 6% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 6% below the HPI over time, until the December 1997 sale, where it falls to 9% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 9% below the HPI.

What might 28 DOWNS CLOSE be worth now?

The 375.9% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 28 DOWNS CLOSE of £74,950 on 19th December 1997. For the value to have increased from £74,950 to £356,691 over the 29 years and nine months to March 2026, the following assumptions must hold true:
