47 BIRCH DRIVE 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 47 BIRCH DRIVE sales between September 1999 and September 2022 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 October 2010 sale was for 49% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 49% below the HPI over time, until the September 2022 sale, where it rises to 46% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 46% below the HPI.

What might 47 BIRCH DRIVE be worth now?

This is based on house price inflation of 2.9%, between September 2022 and February 2025, 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 2.9% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 47 BIRCH DRIVE of £205,000 on 14th September 2022. For the value to have increased from £205,000 to £210,874 over the three years and seven months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:
