12 LONGFIELDS DRIVE 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 four 12 LONGFIELDS DRIVE sales between April 1998 and November 2024 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 2005 sale was for 40% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 40% below the HPI over time, until the November 2024 sale, where it falls to 41% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 41% below the HPI.
