16 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 three 16 LONGFIELDS DRIVE sales between December 2000 and May 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 August 2006 sale was for 29% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 29% below the HPI over time, until the May 2024 sale, where it rises to 27% below the HPI.
