20 TRAPFIELD CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average semi-detached house price in the Maidstone local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three 20 TRAPFIELD CLOSE sales between September 1996 and April 2023 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 August 2009 sale roughly matched the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks roughly in line with the HPI over time, until the April 2023 sale, where it falls to 8% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 8% below the HPI.

What might 20 TRAPFIELD CLOSE be worth now?
