70 FOREST HILL Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average semi-detached house price in the Maidstone local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three 70 FOREST HILL sales between July 2005 and February 2017 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 November 2009 sale was for 25% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 25% below the HPI over time, until the February 2017 sale, which was also at 25% below the HPI.

What might 70 FOREST HILL be worth now?
