18 THE COVERT 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 THE COVERT sales from January 2003 and August 2018 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 January 2003 sale was for 14% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 14% below the HPI over time, until the August 2018 sale, where it falls to 21% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 21% below the HPI.
