2 WHATMAN 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 two 2 WHATMAN CLOSE sales from January 2010 and October 2014 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 2010 sale was for 24% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 24% below the HPI over time, until the October 2014 sale, where it rises to 23% above the HPI.
