1 BIRCHFIELD CLOSE 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 1 BIRCHFIELD CLOSE sales from October 2023 and January 2024 have been plotted on the graph.

For example, the October 2023 sale was for 2% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 2% below the HPI over time, until the January 2024 sale, where it falls to 6% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 6% below the HPI.
