14 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 14 KINGSDOWN CLOSE sales between January 2001 and October 2023 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 2002 sale was for 1% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 1% above the HPI over time, until the October 2023 sale, where it falls to 14% below the HPI.
