THACKER GATE 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 THACKER GATE sales from November 2003 and January 2008 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 November 2003 sale was for 13% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 13% above the HPI over time, until the January 2008 sale, where it rises to 18% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 18% above the HPI.
