The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Maidstone local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three 20 WATERSMEET CLOSE sales between April 2002 and June 2016 have been plotted on the graph.

For example, the February 2007 sale was for 46% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 46% below the HPI over time, until the June 2016 sale, where it rises to 41% below the HPI.
