The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Maidstone local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 4 DICKENS CLOSE sales from October 1999 and July 2014 have been plotted on the graph.

For example, the October 1999 sale was for 21% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 21% below the HPI over time, until the July 2014 sale, where it falls to 22% below the HPI.
