SHEPHERDS 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 SHEPHERDS COTTAGE sales from February 2007 and November 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 February 2007 sale was for 63% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 63% above the HPI over time, until the November 2022 sale, where it falls to 59% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 59% above the HPI.
