12 KINGSDOWN 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 three 12 KINGSDOWN CLOSE sales between August 2006 and November 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 July 2015 sale was for 20% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 20% below the HPI over time, until the November 2022 sale, where it rises to 16% below the HPI.
