21 DICKENS CLOSE 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 four 21 DICKENS CLOSE sales between December 2003 and April 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 November 2017 sale was for 53% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 53% below the HPI over time, until the April 2021 sale, where it rises to 41% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 41% below the HPI.

What might 21 DICKENS CLOSE be worth now?
