LITTLE 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 LITTLE CLOSE sales from July 2017 and March 2024 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 July 2017 sale was for 4% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 4% above the HPI over time, until the March 2024 sale, where it rises to 45% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 45% above the HPI.
