QUILTER 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 QUILTER COTTAGE sales from February 1996 and March 2014 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 February 1996 sale was for 76% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 76% above the HPI over time, until the March 2014 sale, where it rises to 137% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 137% above the HPI.
