NUT TREE 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 three NUT TREE COTTAGE sales between December 2000 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 October 2005 sale was for 27% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 27% above the HPI over time, until the January 2023 sale, where it rises to 29% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 29% above the HPI.
