WALELSDEN 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 WALELSDEN sales between August 2001 and February 2019 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 2007 sale was for 26% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 26% below the HPI over time, until the February 2019 sale, where it falls to 40% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 40% below the HPI.
