10 THE ORCHARD 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 10 THE ORCHARD sales from December 1997 and March 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 December 1997 sale was for 4% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 4% below the HPI over time, until the March 2002 sale, where it rises to 96% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 96% above the HPI.
