WEST BANK COTTAGE 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 WEST BANK COTTAGE sales from October 2010 and June 2022 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 October 2010 sale was for 237% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 237% above the HPI over time, until the June 2022 sale, where it falls to 203% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 203% above the HPI.
