24 THE ORCHARD 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 24 THE ORCHARD sales from April 1999 and October 2012 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 April 1999 sale was for 85% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 85% above the HPI over time, until the October 2012 sale, where it rises to 104% above the HPI.
