8 AMHERST 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 8 AMHERST CLOSE sales from June 2005 and October 2011 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 2005 sale was for 24% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 24% below the HPI over time, until the October 2011 sale, where it falls to 25% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 25% below the HPI.
