5 TRAPFIELD 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 5 TRAPFIELD CLOSE sales between July 1995 and June 2014 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 June 2011 sale was for 27% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 27% below the HPI over time, until the June 2014 sale, where it rises to 20% below the HPI.
