The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Maidstone local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 17 OLD SCHOOL CLOSE sales from October 2000 and May 2005 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 2000 sale was for 49% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 49% below the HPI over time, until the May 2005 sale, where it rises to 38% below the HPI.
