3 ORCHARD FARM COTTAGE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average terraced house price in the Maidstone local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three 3 ORCHARD FARM COTTAGE sales between October 2014 and June 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 August 2017 sale was for 142% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 142% above the HPI over time, until the June 2021 sale, where it falls to 141% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 141% above the HPI.
