BROOK COTTAGE 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 four BROOK COTTAGE sales between February 2003 and April 2022 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 2012 sale was for 28% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 28% above the HPI over time, until the April 2022 sale, where it falls to 11% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 11% above the HPI.
