SOUNION 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 SOUNION sales from April 2014 and August 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 April 2014 sale was for 33% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 33% above the HPI over time, until the August 2021 sale, where it rises to 45% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 45% above the HPI.
