8 LONGFIELDS DRIVE 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 two 8 LONGFIELDS DRIVE sales from November 2001 and January 2023 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 2001 sale was for 1% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 1% above the HPI over time, until the January 2023 sale, where it falls to 5% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 5% below the HPI.

What might 8 LONGFIELDS DRIVE be worth now?
