23 MICAWBER 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 three 23 MICAWBER CLOSE sales between November 2003 and May 2013 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 December 2010 sale was for 18% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 18% below the HPI over time, until the May 2013 sale, where it rises to 12% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 12% below the HPI.
