TREETOPS 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 TREETOPS sales between November 2002 and October 2007 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 17% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 17% above the HPI over time, until the October 2007 sale, where it rises to 42% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 42% above the HPI.
