LITTLE BUCKLAND 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 two LITTLE BUCKLAND COTTAGE sales from June 2012 and February 2021 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 2012 sale was for 22% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 22% below the HPI over time, until the February 2021 sale, where it rises to 15% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 15% below the HPI.
