9 THE ORCHARD 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 9 THE ORCHARD sales from January 1997 and December 2002 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 January 1997 sale was for 137% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 137% above the HPI over time, until the December 2002 sale, where it falls to 99% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 99% above the HPI.
