THORNEY 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 THORNEY sales from March 2004 and May 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 March 2004 sale was for 13% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 13% above the HPI over time, until the May 2021 sale, where it rises to 38% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 38% above the HPI.
