4 HOCKERS 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 4 HOCKERS CLOSE sales from January 2012 and January 2019 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 2012 sale was for 24% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 24% below the HPI over time, until the January 2019 sale, where it rises to 20% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 20% below the HPI.

What might 4 HOCKERS CLOSE be worth now?
