THE CEDARS 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 THE CEDARS sales from February 2020 and April 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 February 2020 sale was for 2% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 2% below the HPI over time, until the April 2021 sale, where it falls to 12% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 12% below the HPI.
