78 LONGHAM COPSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average terraced house price in the Maidstone local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three 78 LONGHAM COPSE sales between May 1997 and December 2002 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 July 1998 sale was for 27% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 27% below the HPI over time, until the December 2002 sale, where it rises to 23% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 23% below the HPI.

What might 78 LONGHAM COPSE be worth now?

This is based on house price inflation of 147.1%, between December 2002 and August 2025, for terraced 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 147.1% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 78 LONGHAM COPSE of £94,000 on 20th December 2002. For the value to have increased from £94,000 to £232,255 over the 23 years and four months to August 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:
