4 MELFORD DRIVE 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 four 4 MELFORD DRIVE sales between April 1997 and October 2010 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 March 2004 sale was for 6% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 6% above the HPI over time, until the October 2010 sale, where it falls to 2% below the HPI.
