THE BIRCHES 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 THE BIRCHES sales between September 1998 and February 2017 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 2004 sale was for 13% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 13% above the HPI over time, until the February 2017 sale, where it falls to 4% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 4% above the HPI.
