18 BUTTON LANE 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 two 18 BUTTON LANE sales from July 1999 and October 2015 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 1999 sale was for 11% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 11% below the HPI over time, until the October 2015 sale, where it rises to roughly the same level as the HPI. The line then continues to track in line with the HPI.
